Cook Island Descriptive Writing
I was confused as to why the assembly hall had been highly decorated when I first got to school. Later, I understood why the hall was overly decorated. It was because of the Cook Islands Language Week. I rushed in and waited for my class until the bell for class rang before going down to the hall . the assembly was just to start the kick off for cook island language week 

Our hosts, Mrs. Maruariki and Mrs. Atuhiva, told us to stand up and sing the national anthem of Cook Islands after a short time of silence., Mrs. Maruariki then shared with us an emotional story about her late mother, who made all the tivaevae in the hall and left her with many precious items. 

After Mrs. Maruariki finished speaking, Mrs. Atuhiva proudly stepped up and gave the students a warm welcome  before praising the beauty of the Cook Islands. She advised us to visit the islands to see for yourself what she was describing. She also taught us some greetings like Popogi manea which means Good Morning  and aere ra which means goodbye , i had a lot of fun pronouncing these words and enjoyed the starting of the cook island language week 

Tivaevae usually are sew together to make a big patterns on a big piece of cloth , it had a lot of cool patterns on it , there were alot of them hanged up on the hall but the one i like the most was the tivaevae made by mrs maurariki mother it had a purple pattern going across it and cool patterns in the middle .

I learned a lot about the Cook Islands during the first day of Cook Island Language Week, and I would love to visit them someday.

Thank you PWC !

We appreciate PWC coming to Glen Brae School and teaching us about all the Toitoi novels. Reading with Paul was a delight, and I loved reading with the PWC Toitoi Reading teachers . My favorite story in the Toitoi novel was the Boy and the grasshopper. I wish for them to come probably next year or when they are free. Thank You PWC !
