Kia Orana - It's Cook Island Language Week.

What a colourful and fun week it's been! From our amazing opening assembly on Monday, to our cultural dress day today. It has been lovely to hear of the Cook Island drums throughout the school.

This week each class had a challenge put to them - create a 30cm x 30cm tivaevae square to share at our closing assembly on Monday of week 3.

After doing some research about what tivaevae is, who makes it and why, we decided we wanted to do some stitching of our own! Room 8 children have been working away on our creation throughout the week and are very proud of the results.

It was lovely to see people working together. One person would do some sewing, then teach the next person and so on.

Look at the concentration as we work on out tivaevae.

  2. Doing the tivaevaes were amazing it was really fun to have this experience because i have never made a single tivaevae in my whole life. Making the fabric & the paper tivaevae were fun I hope that we can make some more of these in the future. Also big thx to Katie (and the other cook island people who helped) for creating this challenge for us I have definitely had a good time make our tivaevaes.
