Please be patient. Mrs Radka is new to blogging! There may be some technical issues. :-)

A note about our Mihimihi's from Mrs Hogan

Thank you for visiting our Blogspot. The children have worked very hard in Term 1, 2012 to learn their mihimihi. Our main aim was to learn what is in a mihimihi, learn basic sentence structures and know what we are saying. We used artwork to help us recall the maori words and sentences.These are not formal and technically correct mihimihi. This is the start of our learning and in years to come we hope to refine and improve on our first attempts.

Not all children created a movie as it was extension for those who mastered their mihimihi and finished their weaving.

A note from Mrs Hogan...

Congratulations to all of the children on fabulous opening and closing ceremonies. You showed your countries and their dances great respect. I was amazed that everyone focused and remembered their moves so well.

Thank you to all of the family members who supported us either by providing props (scarves, ties, etc) or by attending our presentations.

We realise that many couldn't make it because of work commitments and that the videos on our blogs are hard to see (there is a 100mb limit for each file), so we will offer the dances on DVD to you, each DVD will have all 12 dances on them plus a selection of photographs from our sports day. There will be a small charge of $10. These can be ordered at the office at the start of term 4.

The introduction and class dances are below. Enjoy!

Music Appreciation – Indigenous Music - Kuranda Warrior
This piece of music is not slow, but not that fast. I think the person who made the music wanted it to be like that. She has repeated the music and put in a beat at the same time. I think the people who listen to this would be the people who would listen to music to put their mind on something different. She has used a didgeridoo and a bongo. I don’t really like this piece of music.
