Mr Yamasaki

Mr Yamasaki, who is Japanese came to our class to teach us how to make an origami crane. I didn't get to finish mine but I would like to construct other animals with paper. 

Guinea's Rowing Experience

Cook Island Language Week

Today we were visited by members from the Auckland Museum. They were Cook Islanders who were here to talk about “Vakas”, Wakas or boats. They had brought a tool, that was used to drill holes in wood which was very interesting. It didn’t look like a complicated object, though no one knew how to use it, until Lauren demonstrated. The string they used to connect wood that was made from coconuts, was named “Niu.” I learned how they used the sun, the stars and other things in the sky as a guide/compass, and how they knew they were near land. As I am a Cook Islander, I found this session really interesting as it is the history of how my ancestors travelled from Africa to Cook Island.

Every Day Theatre

Today Rooms 7 and 8 were visited by 2 people, Julie and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn was with our class and she was really funny. We got to play different games, or act out different scenarios about the story of T, his parents, and their relationship. We enjoyed the games that we played as everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves. I enjoyed their little presentation that did at the beginning to show us some parts of the story. The best part was getting into groups, acting the images and saying what their thoughts might have been. We got the password, which was “Every Child Has Hopes And Dreams.” We also did a fun little handshake at the end. We were lucky not to lose our last life, or else it would have been,“Game Over.”
