Learning Cook Island Language during Cook Island Language Week is fun.
First in the morning we came to school. Then we were playing. After a few minutes the bell rang and we ran two rounds of runs around the astro turf. When we finished our two rounds of runs we came into class then our teacher introduced us some Cook Island words that were so easy to memorize. Our teacher asked us to say the words that we learnt. Some kids were shy and some other kids were confident to come up and say the words in front of all the kids in the class.
Next we were talking to each other because our teacher told us to. Our teacher told us to practice the words with each other so we can use it with other kids. This is because it’s Cook Island Language week. Cook Island Language week started on Monday and I like Cook Island Language week because you can dress up into your clothes that you wear to church.
Then once we were finished with the Cook Island speaking.Our teacher asked us some questions and if we got the answer right then we got to open the cabinet. Christian was the first boy to be questioned when our teacher gave him a question. He got it right. The question was the same because some kids didn’t know the words so we had to help them.
Finally everyone got the question after we got our chromebooks our teacher told us to do Recount writing about the Cook Island words that we learnt. Some of the words we learnt were - Kia Orana, Pe’ea Koe, Meitaki Au, Akape ‘ Ea Koe. Our teacher wrote on the board for us to learn so it's easy for everybody.
I was so happy because it was Cook Island Week.
