Ka Tangi te Kurī e

Room 3 have been learning a song about a dog (te kurī), a cat (te poti), a bird (te manu), and a cow (te kau). They are playing the notes C and D to go with the part of the song when we sing about the sound each animal makes. At first they played together on the resonator bells and took turns acting out the animals with masks. This week we split into groups of animals and played in parts. Nga manu were on the metallophones, nga poti were on the soprano xylophones, nga kurī were on the alto xylophones, and nga kau were on the bass marimba. We swapped around so everyone played each part. They were fantastic at playing the rhythm on the correct pitches and remembering when to come in for all of the different parts.
