Maker-Y with Nane from Kootuitui Ki Papakura

 

We are really fortunate to have Nane from Kootuitui Ki Papakura come to our class every Tuesday and work with us on coding and robotics. Today we learnt that when we are creating it is important to remember that there is no right or wrong and the idea is to keep trying and if we make a mistake then we just debug and keep working on creating something until we get there.

Cook Island Language Week

We are learning about the Cook Island language. We are learning to say hello, ask how are you to someone and know some more basic things about this beautiful language from one our neighbouring island nations. We are also making a class quilt with Tivaeva patterns and floral patterns. We worked in groups to create these presentations about the Cook Island language.
