Waiata Tau - a number song

He tino pārekareka ki ā tātou nei tamariki ki te ako waiata ki te taha o
Whaea Miri i te ahiahi nei. 

Our tamariki had heaps of fun learning this waiata with Whaea Miri
this afternoon.

Kotahi Rākau

Kotahi rākau mokemoke e,

E rua ngā waewae mō te hīkoi e,

E toru ngā tara mo te KFC,

E whā ngā hau e pupuhi ana,

E rima ngā whetū kemokemo mai,

E ono ngā hēki i te kohanga,

E whitu ngā tae o te kopere,

E waru ngā ringa o te wheke,

E iwa ngā waiata pārekareka e,

Tekau ngā hoa he pai ki ahau.

One lonely tree, two feet for walking, three dollars for KFC,
four winds blowing, five stars twinkling, six eggs in the nest,
seven colours of the rainbow, eight arms of the octopus,
9 fun songs, ten friends that I like.
