E Papa Waiari - Maori Stick Game at Discovery on 1 August 2014

Each week in Discovery time, Mrs Kingston plans an activity to support our English Language Learners.  This term, the Kakano integrated topic is the Arts, and the Big Idea is 'being creative in a way to express identity'.  So the group tried out a Maori action song, and instead of using sticks, the students used rolled up magazines (which make slightly less noise when banged on the floor).  You can view the words and actions of E Papa Waiari on Mamalisa's World.  In addition, you can view different action songs from around the world in different languages.  Everyone participated enthusiastically and had great fun.
