Cook Island Language Week


Today We had visitors from the Auckland Museum. They came to speak Cook Island to us. I learnt lots of stuff like the coconut tree is the tree of life. They taught us about the vaka . At the end we had two games. I participated in making a hole on a piece of wood. Of course I failed but Havea got it on his first go. The Kiwi’s took the idea of the Cook Islanders on making the vaka. The vaka was used to make a speed boat for the U.S.A. I learnt a variety of things such as how to navigate without a compass or map. It was great fun I think you should visit the Auckland Museum because you will find lots of different canoes or Waka.

Hello Zain
I really liked how you you told the truth and said you failed on your first try. I also have met those people and using those drills made by hands was a challenging experience. Did you have a go trying to attach the 2 peices of wood together with the niu?

Ni hau Zain,
You have explained really well of what they did. I agree that it did look hard but it really wasn't. Another point you could include is that why was it hard. would you practise more to get better.

Wow! I like your little paragraph on the cook Island culture and history. I wish I was at school that day so that I could of learned more about cook Island. When the cook Island visitors came did they talk about how they carved and stuff?
