Christchurch Symphony Orchestra Visit

We were very fortunate to have five members of the Christchuch Symphony Orchestra visit the KIndergarten. 
After introducing themselves they individually introduced us to their instruments they played.



We became involved by singing along to the music they play with familiar songs like  "Insy winsy Spider" and "I'm a Little Teapot".   We were invited to use our own instruments to join the orchestra but instead we clapped  our hands and knees to the "Elelphant Walk" song.
He rawe tēnā!  This is great!



Chloe was very confident to play the violin while her audience looked in wonderment and awe, watching her strum the bow across the strings!   
Demain  helped  out  too as  he pressed the keys to make different sounds.  Tino pai nga tamariki.


The orchestra left us handouts of their show in Ashburton during  the holidays and we recommend that it would be really worth seeing.
