Cook Islands Fun Friday

 Cook Islands Language Week


To celebrate Cook Islands Language Week,  two of our Fun Friday options were based on Cook Islands tivaevae and ei.  Miss Waho used paper and stencils to create patterns similar t those used in tivaevae and Mrs Ngaata used straws and crepe paper to create ei.






We enjoyed these activities so much that we are going to have them as a Fun Friday option again.
