Strike Musical Show

Today Strike Percussion NZ came to perform at our school with their drums and marimba. 

And one of the band members played an electric violin (a stringed instrument). 

It was an amazing, interactive, high energy show and at times it was very loud!

Sir and Mr Masters had a "teacher drum battle" (a competition).

Some of our students got to have a turn at playing the instruments too.

Who knew that a flame-thrower could be turned into a musical instrument?!!!!!!!

 

We love music time!

 Music with Whaea Jen!

We love learning new songs on the ukulele.

Keeping the beat with drumsticks.

Using the correct hand and fingers.

Real keyboard warriors!

The King of Bass!

New experiences with a violin and bow.

High Tea Party for King Charles III Coronation

Te Pihi were invited to a high tea party for King Charles III Coronation! 

Mikayla read the invitation out to the class. 

So we talked about how we would prepare for our high tea party.....the food and drink we would have, the clothes we would wear and the decorations we needed to make.

We dressed up in our special dresses and collared shirts and wore our accessories (crowns, bow ties, gloves and pearl necklaces). We had to practise our Royal wave and how to sit nicely.

Michele turned the teachers' chair into a Royal throne chair and added some Royal accessories.

We ate cucumber and cheese sandwiches, sausage rolls, cupcakes, scones, lamingtons, meringues, fairy bread and kebabs.

Mrs Hammond and Michele were our waitresses. We drank iced tea out of really old tea cups and Mrs Dane let us use her really old English teapot. Rereata knew how to hold a tea cup like a Royal!

Mrs Hammond found some special English music to play on our Activ Board while we had our high tea party. We had so much fun and the food was really yummy!
