Do you know what this song is?

Can you sing this cool song in Te Reo and record it so I can learn it?
How does this fit in with having a positive mindset?

Everything is awesome.
He pai ngā mea katoa.

Everything is cool when you're part of a team.
He rawe ngā mea katoa kia kotahi tātou.

Everything is awesome, when you're living your dream!
He pai ngā mea katoa ki te ora koe ā tau moemoea!

Waiata - National Anthem

AkoAroha and her wonderful class use this to begin each day.  It uses our three National Languages - Māori, NZ Sign and English.  I am sure if we struggle to learn the sign that they will help us out!

Tena Koutou

Check out our song.  We can use this video when there is no ukulele to sing by.  Remember this is an echo song.  Think about how to pronounce the words.
