On  Cook Island language week we researched a popular traditional art from Cook Island and it was tie dye. The most fun thing was experimenting with the colors.

When it was the closing of  Cook Island  language we were all sad but we knew that Cook Island language won’t last forever.

We were also unhappy when we made a vaka because we thought we were going to win but we  came second place . We wondered why we didn’t we win  but our teacher said “you don’t always have to win”  and we were like “she’s right” so we got over it  and were happy for the winning class.

Kia ora! My name is Amber, I go to Ruapotaka School. I am in Year 5 and my teacher is  Mrs Erick. My favourite subject is reading and I enjoy learning about  physical health and wellbeing.  I am good at drama.  My goal for this year is to get  better at drawing. In my spare time I like to draw or help others.
