2016 Term 2, Weeks 9 & 10: Cool Cats and Countdown to Holidays


Cool cats clicking their fingers in time to Sh-boom sh-boom by the Koi Boys from New Zealand. What dance movements can you create for the verses and choruses?  Here's a link to the lyrics for Sh-boom Sh-boom.


Add 4 bar lines to make 5 bars of 4 beats each.
Holiday by Fatcat and Fishface
Here's another fun song from our favourite singers-and-songwriters
 
Click here for the link to the web page for this song. You can listen to the song for free for a few times then you need to pay for it  - which I recommend.   Great to support New Zealand music and musicians.
Tahi - rua - toru - wha
 
On a holiday in Polynesia
Sitting underneath the coconut trees
Sun is shining on the pretty blue sea
When a big fat coconut fell on me 


Oh - oh - oh -oh - oh

On a holiday in Australia
Kangarooses on the hop all daya
Sitting underneath the old gum tree
When a blue-tongued lizard took a piece of me
Oh - oh - oh -oh - oh 

On a holiday in the Antarctic
Took my snowshoes and my sharpest ice pick
Played with penguins in the freezing sea
When a hump backed whale got a crush on me


Oh - oh - oh -oh - oh  
hol-i -day   hol-i-day 
hol-i-day  
Oh - oh - oh -oh - oh 
  
On a holiday in old New Zealand
Grass is greener and the sheep are clean and
Birds are singing in the totara tree
When an earthquake shook itself all over me

 Oh - oh - oh -oh - oh 
La-la-la-la-la . . .  

A map of Polynesia.  What islands and countries are in Polynesia? What islands and countries in this map are not in Polynesia?  Poynesia comes from two Greek words meaning  "many islands".
What's at the top of a coconut tree?

Find Australia, New Zealand and the Antarctic

An Australian blue-tongued skink (lizard)


The Antarctic - how many countries can you find?
A hump backed whale "breaching"
