This Is My Castle

We are showing growth mindsets in writing. We are using our word cards to help us find words and sounds. Here William shows the results of hard work and a lot of thinking.

Maori Battalion Song

Kia ora. We have been learning the Maori Battalion Song. During the war the Maori Battalion used to sing it to remind them of home because they were so far away. Ask your child to sing it to you - there are some tricky words in there!

Maori Battalion march to victory
Maori Battalion staunch and true
Maori Battalion march to glory
Take the honour of the people with you
We will march, march, march to the enemy
And we'll fight right to the end.
For God! For King! And for Country!
AU - E! Ake, ake, kia kaha e!
