NIUEAN Language Week

Hi Everyone,
This week has been too fun for Room 12. We especially enjoyed today! We started the day with the Whakatau- welcoming our guests from around the world.
We then made our weaving for the Niuean Assembly after morning tea. We wanted to make ours a little bit different so we were each given a petal and had to weave through it. We had different coloured petals and then put it together to make a big flower.
After morning tea, we were lucky enough to have a guest come speak to us about Niue. She is the former Miss Niue 2011 and her name is Sandra. After her speech she did a dance for us and it was very pretty. Next, Mr Vasau spoke and performed another Niuean item for us as well. We thought that was amazing! Finally, our weaving was judged by Miss Niue and guess who won??????......

WE DID!!! According to Miss Niue, our weaving piece was the best (but we think everyone did an awesome job!)

For the winning class, Miss Fuataga presented us with a spear that was gifted to the school by her family! TAHNK YOU MISS FUATAGA and FAMILY!

Here are a few pictures from today's adventures... enjoy!
