Kia Orana ! This week we celebrated Cook Island language week !
We had a special assembly with some of the students from our room involved in a Cook Island dance, and a special visit from the Cook Island drumming group.
We also read a story about lava lava, learnt a Cook Island song and National anthem, and learned some greeting in Cook Island Language. We even had some Cook Island food !
The some of the junior teachers had matching dresses for the special occasion! Thanks to Tekura's mum for my special ei katu (head piece) .
Our very own Saia was an interviewer on Kea kids news! Check it out!
We interviewed Saia about how he got to interview on Kea Kids news.
Room 2: Saia, how did you get the opportunity to be an interviewer on Kea Kids News?
Saia: My brother's friend came over and asked me if I'd be interested, so I said "Im keen!". The the next day he came to fetch me, and took me to interview Tāne Wolfgramm in front of the camera.
Room 2: How did you know what questions to ask?
Saia: I just asked the questions the people there told me to.
Room 2: How did you feel when you were doing the interview?
Saia: I felt nervous at the time, but now I feel proud.
Room 2: Did you get to keep the boots he painted for you in the video?
To celebrate the start of Matariki we decided create a little movie using Explain Everything on the iPads. Check out our version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Our next goal is to create a Matariki version using this song.
