Tēnā koutou katoa
Today we had the privilege of sharing some of our music learning from this year with our whānau and Te Tinana as our audience. The tamariki led this themselves and chose what learning they wanted to share with you all. We had been learning some waiata Māori – E Minaka Ana and Ka Pioioi which the tamariki wanted to perform in kapahaka costume and with moko. We also performed a drumming piece – Seven Nations Army that Whaea Jen had been teaching us.
The proudest moment for me as their kaiako was watching their pride, passion, courage and commitment leading up to and including their performance today.
Ngā mihi nui to the whānau who were able to make it in person, our tamariki were very appreciative as was I, we know it is not easy to make these events with our busy lives.
We hope you enjoy watching these videos of our group performances and those tamariki who were brave enough to do solo performances will share to their individual blog on Friday.
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa,
Ngā taitamariki me ngā kaiako o Te Manga
