Snorkelling - Cook Island Language Week

This term our inquiry is about Recreation and Entertainment. We are learning about different kinds of hobbies. This week is Cook Island Language Week so we had a look at hobbies in the Cook Islands. 

One hobby that people do in the Cook Islands is snorkelling. The Cook Islands have lots of nice beaches and tropical fish so people like to snorkel and look at the tropical fish.

We made our own tropical fish. We drew them with pastels then we cut them out and stuffed them with newspaper. Then we decorated our snorkels.

Today we had Tuakana/Teina time with our buddy class Room 8 and we made Cook Island 'ei's! An 'Ei is a floral headband or necklace that is usually worn during celebrations. We made the headband kind. Our buddies helped us decorate flowers and glue them onto our headpieces. We love tuakana/teina time!
