Tohora Nui

Tohora Nui is a song about whales.

Here are some Birchwood students (from a few years ago) who have worked hard to learn this waiata:
Some of the words are slightly different to below. 


Tohora nui
Tohora roa
Tohora tino mōmona
Tohora whiuwhiua 
Tohora piupiua
Tohora kau i roto i te moana

Poaka nui
Poaka toa
Poaka tino mōmona
Poaka kunekune
Poaka koropiko
Poaka hongihongi i te paru e!
      Big whale
long whale
very fat whale
fling (your tail) whale
wave (your tail) whale
swimming in the ocean

Big pig
Brave pig
Very fat pig
A Captain Cooker
with a curly tail
Snorting around in the mud
