Kids in Town 2018

The Kapa Haka and Legends Choir performed superbly last week at the Art Gallery, as part of the
Kids in Town programme run by the City Council.

It is great to see so many of our whanau come along to watch and many visitors to the city
stopping to take in the music. Jamison and Brierley played a lovely duet on the cello and viola,
Mya and Abi did a tap dance, and Eva and Samantha danced.

Christchurch Primary Schools' Music Festival

Our wonderful Legends Choir performed beautifully at this year's opening night at the Christchurch Primary Schools' Music Festival held at the Horncastle Arena. They looked great and certainly hit the high notes with some great songs like "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" and "We are the Champions". Our Junior Representative Choir members sang like angels with "A Million Dreams" and "Orinoco Flow" (Mrs Peterson's favourite item of the night!).
It was great to see the parents and grandparents enjoying this memorable night of music.
You can hear the choir again at Kids In Town this Thursday (1 November) at the ChCh Art Gallery from 12.30pm - 1pm.

Final rehearsal in full swing

Singing is lots of fun

Thousands of ChCh children have experienced this event over the years. Next year we hope to be back in the Town Hall!

A Trip To Africa

Koffie and his team took us on a wonderful adventure in African culture, drumming, songs and dance today. Some of the children (and teachers) got to play the djembe drums and everyone joined in with the West African singing and dancing.
The children absolutely loved the experience - "It just made me want to get on a plane to go to Africa!" Liam, aged 11years.

Hoon Hay School presents "The Journey"

What a week of celebrating the Arts with every child in our school having their moment on the stage. We were taken on a journey by our very own Dr Who and his assistant Hayley Hay who helped our martian friends Boonie Hoonie find mischievous Zoonie and Goonie. From Antarctica to Argentina, South Africa to Spain - "The Journey" was a spectacle of colour and culture.
Around the world in 90mins - an awesome effort from the team and, as usual, our tamariki at Hoon Hay School absolutely shone in the spotlight! Special thanks to everyone who did their little bit to bring it all together!
