In these photos, you can see we are teaching
Room 5 the body song. The name of the student I am teaching with 'Charlene' is long lost in my mind but I do know that we taught this class as well as Room 4. We had lots of fun and in the end me and Kayla ended up teaching the children again!
Hey Chayse,
ReplyDeleteGreat job at the auditions call backs today you did really well.I'm so happy for you as you are the only year five and the only boy. Hope you have fun at practises that come up and have fun playing your character at production on the real night.
From Emerson in room 14
Hi Chayse
ReplyDeleteI know that your buddy in room 5 loved learning the body song with you and Charlene. Can you name any other body parts in Maori such as fingers or teeth?
Very cool Chayse, Im glad you remembered the Upoko (Mahunga) pakahiwi waiata. Ive put Upoko here as once upon a time thats what word the kids used to use (including me when I was your age) in days past :-) Good on you with your buddy work, I wonder if you know what the Maaori word is for "tongue"? love Mumma
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emerson too Chayse. Good boy, what an accomplishment. Particularly when you audtioned in another character! The result proves you have great potential. Im also excited that you will get to SING with that beauty voice of yours, a waiata :-) Heads up Chayse, love Mum :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so nice to teach room 5 and 4 how to sing a song that was a raelly nice song. I wish I can teach yonger kids that song
ReplyDeletecharlie :)
Hello Charlie. (Huh. Your name reminds me of Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. Wish I lived there...)
ReplyDeleteThanks, It was also fun teaching the junior classes (or grade 1 and 2 classes) and we had a good time.
Question; what school are you from and where do you (charlie, not me) live???
