Team Tui Assembly Cook Island Language Week

This Morning it was Team Tui’s assembly. This week was Cook Island language week so our Assembly was based off Cook Island language week and Matariki. I was able to read a line in assembly and I was reading the Whakatauki or the theme for the year. Connect me to the traditions and culture of my homeland. Which means to me that we should all embrace our culture and be proud of who we are. We also did a dance. There were 7 girls performing a Cook Island dance with some Cook Island music. I found this really fun because I got to learn some new moves.

Matariki Art

For Art Room 11 here at Glen Taylor School decided to do some abstract Matariki art. We had to choose 3 stars and create a picture representing that star. The stars I have chosen were Pohutukawa which represents remembering those who have passed. Waiti & Waita meaning the Ocean. Lastly Tupu-a-rangi representing food from the forest. Check out my Art!
