NZ Music month at Room 13 Onekawa School




Room 13 at Onekawa School invited a small group of us to watch their ukelele practice on Friday. They also had two recorder players aswell. Noah, Sarah, Taneesha, Kian, Maia, Paige, Rochelle and Jessie walked to Onekawa School, passing Isaac's Nanny Beth on road patrol and once inside Room 13 we sat on school chairs. Joanne our cleaner was there too, this is one of her twin daughter's class rooms.
We listened to two songs played by ukelele then one recorder song. After two more ukelele songs Room 13's teacher Jenny Sargenson said these ukelele players had last week perfromed in front of their school assembly and had just looked at Gin Wigmore's new song on You Tube that morning to practice next.
Our small group of children took in the class room, musicians and Sarah said, 'I like the red ukelele'. On our walk back Maia said, 'I liked the one with the stickers'.
