Kia Tau

We sing this himene to finish our sessions with Penny. 

Kia tau

Kia tatau katoa

Te atawhai o to tatou

ariki a ihu karaiti

Me te aroha o te atua nui

Me te whiwhinga tahi tanga

Ki te wairua tapu

ake, ake amine

Our new song- Ma te kahukura ka rere te manu

Ma te kahukura ka rere te manu

Ka rere koe (Rere runga rawa e)

Ka tai atu koe ki te tau mata

Whakataumai ra e x2

Mau ana taku aroha

tai atu ki nga whetu

Rere to tika rere pai

Rere to tika rere pai

Rere to tika rere pai

Rere runga rawa ra e

Powhiri for Ms Suze

We welcomed Ms Suze to Hamilton East School. The Kapa Haka performed for her. Pippa said a welcoming speech and we sang. Ms Suze told us to go and say hi to her and to introduce ourselves to her when we see her on duty. 

Ms Suze is the new teacher in Room 3 in the Kowhai team.
