Visit From the WSCA

We had a visit today from the WSCA. We shared some songs, read books to them and told them all about our habitat. It was great to share our learning with our visitors.

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!
