Rakau sticks
We have had a great morning working with students from Autahi. It has been a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and work on creating musical patterns with rakau sticks.
Dance
Today while the Year threes were at Te Papa the Year ones and twos were in mixed groups with some children from Autahi. We did some art about a Maori legend, danced to lots of different music and tried to follow a beat with the rakau sticks. We had fun!
