Music and movement

 Wow! We are so lucky at Ōtaki School!! We had an amazing session with Jonas this week! Tamariki were able to explore a whole range of instruments safely (all blowing instruments wiped down in between students). Jonas works really well with the students - even when we are a small group! I hope you enjoy the videos! It was a very magical session!












The band!


Towards the end of the session we learnt a song together - we hope to perform this as a whole school by the end of term - everyone's health permitting.


Tāne, Tāne, Tāne mahuta e tu e tu,
Tāne, Tāne, Tāne mahuta e tu e tu,
Tāne mahuta te atua o te ngahere,
Tāne mahuta te atua o te ngahere.

Tēnā koe e Jonas, i tō kaha, i tō maia, i tō manawanui ki te whakaako i ngā tamariki o Ōtaki Kura!
He pai rawa atu tēnei wheako!

  1. Wow! What a cool time with Matua Jonas! Tiaki has been singing the Tane Mahuta song, so it's great to see the video and hear the tune so I can support him at home. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Xox
