Kia orana
The theme for Cook Islands language week is"Kia pūāvai tō tātou Reo Māori Kūki ‘Āirani i Aotearoa" which in English means "That the Cook Islands Māori language may blossom throughout New Zealand."
This year Room 22 celebrated the Cook Island Language Week. Students decided to select various aspects of Cook Island culture and research about them.
Below are some of the work which students have done to mark the Cook Island Language Week.

Diversity in the classroom teaches students to appreciate different perspectives and draw stronger conclusions. Challenging students to consider different perspectives can also teach them how to interact with their peers on a social level, and equip them with skills they'll use for the rest of their life.
