Tin Whistle and lots of Gaelic

In January T's class started to learn how to play the tin whistle. The tin whistle is basically just a six-holed woodwind instrument. It is actually in the same category as a recorder. The tin whistle is usually associated with Celtic music. 

The first song they did was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 
Then they played Mary had a Little Lamb.
Then they recited an Irish poem. I have no idea whats its called and T has no information for me! Boys!
Then they sang a son in Gaelic. Again...I have no information for you!
I do have information for the next song. Its called the Haka in Gaelic. This is what the Ireland Rugby team recites before their matches...the HAKA!

  2. I'm sure he was in the front row because he is short! ;-)
