Cook Island Language Week

Today after morning tea people from the Auckland museum came to talk about the Cook Island history of the Waka or in Cook Island they call it a Vaka. I found making the holes into the wood was hard then it was very easy to keep it up. The reasons why there had to be holes through the wood is because the string from the coconut was used to tie together wood for the Vaka. I made a very good start but when I got the hang of it. It was very exciting when it was only me and one other person left for drilling. It challenging because I've used an electric drill before but this drill was unique.

Every Day Theatre

Two women named Julie and Kate from Everyday Theatre got invited to talk to Room 8 and 7 about a computer game based on family problems. This program inspired me to ask them for help because solutions can be found. They  left a great sentence :”Every child has a dream.”  I found it hard to name a character from the game and give advice to the character. What I enjoyed the most was doing the handshake because it was simple and easy and also if we did it we would be given a badge that said Gamer Master. Tane and I were working together to come up with questions and show the freeze phrase to a freeze action so I thought that we did a brilliant job. There was plenty of laughter as we did our drama scenes.
