Cook Island Language Week

Today after morning tea room 7 and 8 went to the library to learn about the history of Cook Island and to learn about their culture, three lovely people came to the library and some of them were from the Auckland museum. I found drilling the hole into the piece of wood hard. It was with a funny looking stick with a blunt end, but when I tried it out it was difficult because when I was lifting it up and down it kept on coming off. To use the drilling tool you had to twist the string and lift it up and down to make a hole. What was interesting,it was interesting how to put the two pieces of wood together,and drill holes into the wood. To build their Vakama-(Canoe) they had to use the tree of life (coconut string) but the fibre part of it.

Kia Orana Lakai,
It did look hard to drill a hole in the wood. I enjoyed learning about my culture. What would you like to learn about your culture?
