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?
Listen out for these Maori words in the song. We've been finding out what these words mean.
Dear Ms Werry

It's going to be really exciting to have The Slacks perform at the fair I think that the whole school loves Big Arhoa and the Slacks. Thank you Miss Warry for getting The Slacks perform for us i can't wait for the fair i'm trying my best to learn the words and make some dance moves. I also can't wait for the awesome year we are going to have with Miss Warry!
