Choir Visits

On Tuesday 24th of July 2012 the Huia Range School choir walked down to Central Kindergarten in the rain. It didn’t bother us because we had collected every umbrella in the school!

We sang the National Anthem, E te iwi e, Snakes and ladders, Sing the world around and a partner song, She’ll be coming around the mountain. The kindy audience enjoyed the performance and clapped loudly.  

Next their Kapa Haka group performed for us. The poi dance and haka was spectacular and we look forward to seeing them at the kapa haka festival. Finally we sung the action song, Mahunga pakihiwi, together with the kindy group. 

It was a really good experience singing and sharing our music together.

We also went to Appleton kindergarten. There we sang, listened to their songs and then read beginner readers to them. We thoroughly enjoyed reading with the children. After a while the children showed us all their toys and activities, soon the Huia children were painting, playing kitchen and touching their turtle!
The children waved us goodbye through the fence, it was a delightful experience.
