Te Aroha song - TeacherTube

Te Aroha song - TeacherTube

Te Aroha song- sung by Room 19 students with a sprinkling of Room 23.

During our visit to Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae we learnt how to sing and sign the song Te Aroha. The message in this song is that everybody should have; Aroha-love, Whakapono-faith and Rangimarie-peace in their life. We would like to acknowledge the beautiful Whaea Linda for teaching us this beautiful song in two of our official languages.

Magnificent Marimba!!!

On Saturday (5th September) I was very privileged to go and watch the AMAZING Marimba festival held at the ASB stadium. When I first walked into the stadium, I was greeted by the musical magic of the Owairaka family marimba group. They played beautifully together and they looked like they were enjoying the moment. Then in the stadium, all of the schools present created a symphony of wonderful music for the audience. Now I don't believe in playing favourites, but the Owairaka marimba group were the GREATEST!!!

All warmed up and ready to dazzle our audience!!!

Book week was fantastic.
