Making a Origami crane with Mr Yamasaki

Today a Japanese teacher name Mr Yamasaki taught us how to make a origami crane. The first step of how to make a origami crane was easy. But then when it comes to step number 5, I give up. But I enjoyed it.

Cook Island Language Week

Today Rm7&8 were in the library to meet the some visitors who were here to tell us about their Cook Island culture. Three of them were members of the Auckland museum. They’ve came in to teach us a little bit of their Cook Island history as well as their culture.They introduced themselves in Cook Island then translated it to english. They told us the tools they used back in the day, the meaning of the vaka ara, niu, etc. What I found very interesting was how they used coconut fibre to make a string that keeps the Vaka together. In Cook Island, they called coconut, “Niu.” We had a competition on who will be the first person/team to complete the vaka wood by tying it up with coconut string. My brother Sini, won the competition. The game was a bit of confusing for them but I’m happy that my brother completed it.  Also there was a drilling competition. The wooden drill was the hardest tool ever to use. Afterall Benjamin successfully won the drilling competition.

Every child has hopes and dreams

Today Room 7&8 had two visitors and that is Julie and Caitlyn from  Everyday theatre. They came and did some drama for us. Caitlyn was with us and she is really funny. We played games, acted out scenes about a family who had relationships. problems.I really enjoyed it! But unfortunately she had to leave approximately 12:34pm. So we got  awarded a badge for giving each character  advice.  We would like to say thank you so much for working with us. Before she left we have to complete the password and the last word is Dreams. We read the it and it says: “Every child has hopes and dreams,”  I think it means that every child should put faith in their dreams.
