Room
2 has had an awesome start to Term 3!
This
term, we celebrated Cook Island Language Week. We started each day off with
Cook Island greetings. Throughout the week, we read Cook Island myths and
legends, enjoying a story about a great drum challenge and another about a
kind, helpful shark. We learnt about Tivaevae and found out about how it is
made. We even saw a real Tivaevae up close! We finished off the week by
learning the basics of Cook Island dancing. It was a blast!
“I saw
zigzags on the tivaevae. It looked like a big snowflake.”
By Eliyah
“Cook
Islanders make tivaevae. Mums, nana’s, aunties, sisters, and daughters make it.
It is the best thing I’ve seen in my life.”
By John
“You can
use tivaevae for your wall or your bed. It has all kinds of different patterns
on it. The tivaevae is something given with love.”
By Anthony
