A Trip to Africa

Koffie and his team took us on a wonderful adventure in African culture, drumming, songs and dance today. Some of the children (and teachers) got to play the djembe drums and everyone joined in with the West African singing and dancing.

"The Journey"

Our school production "The Journey" was a success for everyone and the tamariki of Te Kanawa's Marae ended the trip around the world with a lively, vibrant street party in Rio. Renan lead the children on stage with his invitation to "Come to Brazil!"
The children performed beautifully remembering all the steps, and then leading the finale with "We Are the World". You can see from the faces that they are true performers. Well done team!

We're All In This Together!

Our assembly today was all about belonging to a special school and a special country, Aotearoa! We shared the song “We’re all in this together” The words reminded us that we have come from different places and by sticking together and supporting one another our kura will be a better place.
The children (and teachers!) gave an energetic performance and brought so much joy to everyone!
