    This Maori waiata tells the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." It describes three bears - the father bear, mother bear, and baby bear - going for a walk in the woods. When they return home, they discover that someone has sat in their chairs. The father bear, mother bear, and baby bear each ask "Who was sitting in my chair?" The baby bear then says that his chair is broken. The song is used to teach children Maori vocabulary about family members and sentence structures.

    E TORU NGĀ PEA


    Tahi, rua, toru, whä One, two, three, four
    He ai paki tamariki Let’s play a hand game
    E toru ngä pea There were three bears
    E toru ngä pea There were three bears
    Te päpä, te mämä me te pépi pea The father, the mother, and the baby bear
    Me te pépi pea And the baby bear
    I te ngahere haere körero e Walking in the woods

    Hoki ana mai They come home


    Kia kite rätou And what do they see?
    Tahi, rua, toru, whä One, two, three, four

    Ko wai i runga taku türu e? Who was on my chair?


    Te kï a Päpä Pea Asks Father Bear
    Te kï a Päpä Pea Asks Father Bear

    Ko wai i runga taku türu e? Who was on my chair?


    Te kï a Mämä Pea Asks Mother Bear
    Te kï a Mämä Pea Asks Mother Bear

    Ka kï a Pépi Pea Baby Bear says


    Kua whati taku türu My chair is broken
    Aué, hei hä, hei hä Oh no, hei hä, hei hä.
    Hei! Hei!

    This is a section of the traditional “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” story. When the three bears return home,
    they discover that someone has sat on their chairs.

    First, play it to the students, then ask them to share their ideas about what they think the song is about.
    Say “Mämä”, “Päpä”, and “Pépi Pea” and see if they recognise these words.

    This is easy to perform without musical backing as a performance piece for juniors. When performing this,
    solo roles could be given to Mämä, Päpä, and Pépi Pea.

    Hei Waiata, Hei Whakakoakoa 19


    Use this waiata to introduce words to describe family members and to practise te reo Mäori vocabulary and
    sentence structures. Ask the question “Ko wai ia?” – meaning “Who is he/she?” – and point to an illustration
    of one of the bears. The students respond by saying, “Ko ... ia”, using the correct word for the bear, for example,
    “Mämä”, “Päpä”, “Pépi Pea”. Build more questions and sentences with these words from the waiata. For the
    question “Ko wai i runga i te türu?” – “Who was on the chair?” – the word “türu” can be replaced with other words
    such as “moenga” (bed), “papa” (floor), and so on. Add other locations, such as “raro” (under) and “roto” (in),
    to fit in with changes in the location of the object.

    Add words and phrases to the ngä kupu hou chart after the discussion.

    The song sheets for all waiata and haka are at the back of this book.
