Dear Tamaki Today,
That is some awesome dancing! It looks like you had to practice many times because everyone knew exactly what steps to do! The first graders (6 and 7 year olds)at my school are studying Australia and New Zealand so I'll have to pass your blog onto their teachers! Great Work!
Sincerely,

I loved your Cook Island Dance, Red House - well done! I'm sure you'll do really well in your Cultural Festival.
I've also been looking at your Weather Pixie - here in Scotland our weather is quite a bit colder to yours, in fact it's freezing!! Mr Webb has already been on our blog - perhaps some of you other students might like to have a look around and leave us a comment. We're just new to this blogging game!

Hi Guys,
I have just logged on and couldn't continue to another post until I had told you how wonderful I thought your performance was. I teach children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and we are having a school concert on the
10th of December. I have been trying to teach them how to smile when they are performing. I am going to show them this video on our Smart Board on Monday, because a picture tells a thousand words and you all looked so happy performing. It was
a glorious colourful feast for the eyes and ears. Well done
Sue

@ Mr McClungs Class - thanks so much for your comments we will reply to them all next week when the students are back in class
@ Miss Lipsky - if you need some New Zealand experts just let us know we'd love to help.
@ Mrs MC at 5P. Yes its getting in the mid 20s here in New Zealand as we head from Summer. Thanks for your comment and we'll get the students to check your site out next week.
@ Room13 thanks so much for the feedback and I will tell the students to come check out your site next week. Appreciate the feedback.
I have heard several of our Pacific Island students talk about your students dancing. They really feel that they are missing out on some of their heritage. I am glad that they can watch the videos and get to see some of what their culture entails.
