Cook Island Language Week 2019


Last Wednesday, Room 23 welcomed Philominna and Elizabeth Akaruru to our class to share their stories and songs with us.

 




We sang the Cook Island National Anthem with Room 20 and Mrs Faleva'ai. Philomina and Elizabeth Akaruru comes from Aitutaki and Pukapuka. They sang 3 songs for us and then Philominna shared some words of encouragement, she said to always show respect, work hard and to never give up. Thank you Philominna, Elizabeth and Caroline for coming to visit us. We really enjoyed your visit.
