Warming Up and Moving our Tinana!

Today was a pretty chilly day and te Rā was definitely not shining down on us.  It didn't matter though because we got pretty warmed up in Kapa haka singing our vowels warm up song and learning a new waiata-a-ringa "Pāpaki Mai".  I remember learning this as a child so I'm sure many of you will know this catchy tune too!  It is a great song to practise kupu hou (new words) about te tinana (the body) and actions like wiri "shake", whiua "swing", hikoi "walk" etc.  We have added the words to our waiata slide so everyone can sing it at home or back in your hubs.

Thanks everyone for your great enthusiasm and fun in our session today.

Practising our Vowel Sounds

Today we learnt a new waiata to warm us up and to help us with our pronunciation.  Great song and fun also - check us out.  Mrs T's phone died during filming so first verse is there and we will video again next week!!
