Kia ora, Here is a new song we learnt together in Ruma tekau ma rima at Hillcrest Normal School called 'Whakarongo Raa". We talked about the meaning of the song and loved the way it was about weaving and joining together, just like us in Ruma tekau ma rima! We also loved the way the kupu flew off our lips once we had practiced a couple of times. This is a new waiata to add to our collection. We enjoy beginning our day with waiata each morning as we re-unite for another day of learning together. We hope you enjoy listening to our song. Kia kaha te reo Maaori! Nga mihi nui, Ruma tekau ma rima Hillcrest Normal School Hamilton
