Kia orana! It’s been a wonderful week celebrating Cook Island Language Week. Our whole school celebrated each day with sharing by our manea (beautiful) tamariki. The children shared a prayer and basic language phrases everyday. The Cook Island children also visited classrooms across the school and shared stories in Cook Island too. Room 18 also made poke a dessert made from banana mixed with arrowroot and baked in the oven. Here are some photos from us making poke today.
Our school gathered in the hall for the closing assembly. It was a time for lots of sharing and viewing of what classes have done right across the school. There were lots of groups and classes that shared on stage. Winners from the weekly challenge were also announced and given prizes. Here are a few videos from the assembly today.
