Announcing the launch of the Room 6 wiki.

Parents, you are welcome to view the wiki - your child as a password that will let you in. Please talk to me if you have any questions about how it works or how you can take a part in the wiki.

We starting to combine with a class in Melbourne this week. One question they have asked us is: "What are the similarities and differences between NZ and Australian cultures?".

Well, we didn't know much about Australian culture so the two classes are adding what they know about their culture and then we will have a look at what is the same.

See what part of our body we hit - we can make numbers 3, 5, 7, 9. We can do different combinations (3, 3, 7 and 5, 9) and then combine them so that we have two groups doing different rhythms at the same time.

Thanks for your comment on our blog about our Maori song.

This is what the song is about>

Koromiko Karaka Ti Kouka
The trees of the forest
Tarata Ngaio Totara
The trees of the forest

Look at the flowers
Look at the leaves
This one is different from that one
They all differ, they all differ

We hope this answers your question

Would you like to hear more Maori songs?
