Middle Team Music Concert


Last Tuesday the Middle Team performed a concert for our parents. We showed them the things we have been learning with Mrs Beckers this term.
We sang round songs such as Row Row Row your boat and In the Jungle.
Action Waiata such as Tihei Maoriora and Matariki.
We also performed songs on the glockenspiel and chime bars.
Our teacher was super proud of our effort.

Shaking our Sillies Out

Lots and Lots of parents came to watch.

Playing in time

Full concentration

The Mighty Middle Team.
