Karaoke time

 Meanwhile back at Ranui School Whaea Monica was gearing up for her first School Karaoke party in the Kiwi Block barn.  Matua Ernest had donated his 6 tonne speakers and the mics were all set up. 

"Do we have a playlist Whaea Mons?' asked Matua Ernest. "Or are you just going to play whatever comes up on you-tube?"

Whaea Monica said she was open to suggestions. "We'll have to ask Whaea Selina. She knows everything and she's got all the you-tube links on the library website"

Of course Whaea Selina didn't admit that she didn't actually know EVERYTHING, but she always had an answer to a question and never said she didn't know anything. Well sometimes she did, but then a few seconds later upon thinking about it, she did. 

With TT gone to Canada, it was a bit of a relief and she could now relax and do her library work without interference. Now the books were all in order, and the emoji cushions and flowers were back in their rightful places. Also, the reading tents had returned from storage.

Whaea Monica saw the library was now open and walked in. "Whaea Selina, do we have any suitable songs we could sing and play for our Karaoke party. It has to not be too long, preferably in a language we all understand, and contain some of the curriculum."

Whaea Selina immediately thought of 'Baby Shark' but on second thought that had been played too many times already. "hmm, how about this one. It's by Alanis Morissette and it's called 'You Learn'. Her parents were teachers and she was from the North East (i. e, Canada) and if by the end of the song you hadn't learned anything you surely weren't listening".

Whaea Monica said she'd give it a go.
