Tip of the week
Waiata is a powerful meaning of expression
There’s so much value for tamariki in having songs and music shared with them. They’re attracted to the repetition, rhythm and rhyme. Singing waiata is a great way to share te reo Māori with your tamariki and it's a fun activity for the whole whānau!
