Learning Waiata

Dee and Rochelle attended a waiata workshop over the holidays and are teaching us new songs at Kindergarten. This one is cool - the batman song!! Dee and Rochelle demonstrated the song and a few of us stood up to give it a go. We sung it three times and eventually we were all joined in - what a cool song. If you want to teach your family this song the lyrics (words of the song) are listed below.



Kori kori to tinana
whati whati to hope
Batman, Batman

Kori kori to tinana
Whati whati to hope
Batman Batman

Peke Peke Matou
Peke Peke Maui
Huri Huri to tinana e

Hikoi whakamua
Hikoi whakamuri
Waewae takahia e

Kei runga

Wacky Wednesday.

Flynn's suggestion of a Funny Friday or Wacky Wednesday at Manaia Kindergarten again was a brilliant idea for the end of term. What fun we had. Children came up with suggestions on Tuesday and by Wednesday our whole Kindergarten world was WACKY. See if you can find 10 things wacky at Wednesday at Manaia Kindergarten.



Dr Suess's book Wacky Wednesday is a favourite at Manaia Kindergarten. If you haven't already read it, check it out at Fishpond.
