Remember to go to the opposite direction if you stand in front looking at the computer… or try standing beside it and then you can go the same way.

Ko te whaea: 
Remember this one from last year?

Taking a break

Sorry to all those people who like checking out the Milton Primary Music Blog. There will be nothing added for Term 1 and 2 this year. But never fear, there will be new posts again in Term 3. 

If you have some ideas for new songs please add a comment and a link if possible.


In the meantime listen out for tunes that you can sing along to. There is music all around us.

Christmas is a Time

Christmas is a Time

This is a lovely song to sing in two parts.

Instrumental version

Christmas is a time  Christmas is a time  Christmas is a time to love. Christmas is a time  Christmas is a time to love.
We often start to worry 
And people get upset  If things don't all go right on Christmas day.
What we should remember 
In all the push and shove Is Christmas is a time to love.

Maybe things don't sound right 
Or look the way they should 
And maybe they're not perfectly in tune.
It really doesn't matter 
Lets keep our eyes above 
Cos' Christmas is a time to love.


Christmas Songs

Jingle Bells Kiwi Style

Splashing through the waves
On a Kiwi Christmas day
Oh, the beach we go
Laughing all the way. (Haaa)

Sunburn makes us sting (ouch)
With sunscreen, she’ll be right (she’ll be right)
We just want to laugh and sing
Our Christmas songs tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to have
A Kiwi Christmas day, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to have 
A Kiwi Christmas day.

It’s summer time at last
And now my world is bright
With sun and surf by day
And Christmas lights by night

Hot chips at the beach (Mm Mm)
Lollies and ice-cream (Oh yum)
We’ll rinse it down with fizzy drink
It’s a Kiwi Christmas dream!

Aotearoa

This is one the children requested.

Aotearoa

Nō tawhiti, nō tata
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou
ahakoa nō hea mai koe
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu
ko te moana pari mai koe
ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua anō tāua
nō te one i Kurawaka, hei tiaki i te whenua nei

Aotearoa, he iwi kaha tātou,
he mana tuku iho mai anō
whenua haumako
wairua ora
whāia tō ara
ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou
ahakoa nō hea mai koe
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

He kōrero tō te whenua, heke mai ki a tātou
he toa au mōna e oke nei e
e kore au e hinga
he uri nō te roimata
te toto o ngā tūpuna
e kore au e wehi ē

Kia kaha tātou ki tāu i pai ai
Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa
Whenua haumako, wairua ora
whāia tō ara ki te mutunga

Chorus x2
National Anthem

E Ihowa atua
o ngā iwi mātou rā
āta whakarongona
me aroha noa
kia hua ko te pai
kia tau tō atawhai
manaakitia mai
Aotearoa!                    Chorus x3
