Yesterday at 9:30 the team 5 block went to the hall.There was a special event for the school.When we got there,there was a lady and a man on the stage they were singing a song while we were walking in.When we were all settled in he stopped singing.He started introducing himself and his wife.they told us what their manes,what school they went to ,what their favourite thing to do in a life time,shared stories from where they came from and how the other schools are different from how they sing and they taught us a song and it goes like this
Kai Moana
(Chorus)
Kai Moana food from the sea
Kai Moana to feed the family
Fish for the future and there will always be more
Kai Moana for you and me
Well Hiwi and his mate said “Wouldn’t it be great
If we all go fishing with the guys
We’ll catch a snapper for the cooler
But don’t forget the ruler
To check if the snapper’s under size that’s wise”
Kai Moana food from the sea
Kai Moana to feed the family
Fish for the future and there will always be more
Kai Moana for you and me
If the snapper is too wee it will never grow to be
A mummy or a daddy who can breed
We’ll be sure to let him go
So he’s got a chance to grow
We can always catch his uncle for a feed
Kai Moana food from the sea
Kai Moana to feed the family
Fish for the future and there will always be more
Kai Moana for you and me
Well Hiwi went to school and said “Wouldn’t it be cool
If every Kiwi kid knew how to catch a
kai
All you need’s a hook and line
And a sinker would be fine
And some yummy bait a fish would like to try”
(Chorus)
So if you want to catch some grub kids, join a fishing club
Coz there’s lots of fun for every girl and boy
Here’s some really cool advice
Don’t forget to take some ice
Keep your kai moana nice and enjoy – Yum!
(Chorus)
If you’re fishing from a boat and you want to keep afloat
Teach some water safety lessons to your dad
Say “wear a life jacket, don’t forget to pack it
If you wind up in the water you’ll be glad”
Did you let the family know where the boat is going to go And the time that you expect you will return
Take great care and a beacon and a flare
Kids you could save a life if you learn about...
(Chorus)
We sang the song and did some actions.
We learnt heaps of stuff and I only remember:
To always wear a life jacket while being on a boat
If its a sea water fish then don't wash your hands with fresh water wash it with sea water.
