Kia orana - Cook Island Language week

This week we have learnt some facts and words from the Cook Islands. Did you know that the 15 stars on the Cook Island flag represent the 15 different islands of the Cook Islands?








Here is a song we learnt to help us remember how to count in Cook Island Maori. Do you notice the similarities and differences between the two languages?

We also had Hamida and some helpers talk to us about the Cook Island language and show us some instruments and dance moves.  Check out the photos below:
