We Are Aotearoa Tutorial
The song was written by Hannah Milo and Ella Dale when they were in year eight at Ellerslie Primary School. The girls' catchy tune won the 2016 Hook Line and Sing Along Competition.
Lucky us! Hannah Milo is going to be a special guest at our school fair on Sunday April 8th.
You can practise the ukulele parts. Near the end of the webinar you'll hear the different harmony parts too.

Big Aroha! Big Hit!
We did it!
Congratulations to all the students at CPDS.
We made our own version of Big Aroha and it's been a hit. In its first week it's had over 10,000 views on the CPDS Fair 2017 Facebook page. Now you can find it on our new CPDS YouTube channel.
Watch it here and share it with your family and friends. Remember to like, 'like' it and subscribe to our CPDS channel.
We've spent the past week celebrating our success and reflecting on what we were proud of and what was challenging in our learning. The big question is, "Where to next?"
If you haven't already put in your feedback in class, you can leave a comment here about your learning, or what you want to do next in music classes in term two.
A big shout out to all the staff at CPDS who supported the kids to learn the song by sharing it in class.

Big Aroha
Big Aroha, Big News!
Kiwi band The Slacks are coming to the Cornwall Park District School Fair on April 9th.
The band has invited CPDS to make a Youtube video of their song, Big Aroha, released in December 2016.
So we've been very busy getting to know the song and putting together some moves for the video. We have just two weeks to make the video, so the students are keen to learn the song as quickly as possible. That means we'll be listening to the song a lot even when we don't have a music class.
The videos of Big Aroha are here. There's the official video, plus one with the lyrics.
See if you can spot the Kiwiana in the video. These are icons that we think of as images and things that are part of Kiwi culture. Can you think of some more?
