It was exciting to learn some Cook Island words.
First we went outside and did two rounds of running. It was raining so we had to go inside. When we went inside we were learning some Cook Island words. Our teacher went on the home learning page and then went on the slide that say’s, learn Cook Island words. The first word to learn is, Hello. In Cook Island we say hello like this. Kia Orana. The second word we are going to learn is, How are you. In Cook Island we say How are you like this. Pe’ea koe. After we had to learn it to go on to the next word. We were learning how to say I am fine in Cook Island. In Cook Island we say it like this. Meitaki au. My Partner is Cook Island as well, so she will know half of it but then she asked me for help and so I did. Then our teacher was testing us the words. We got all of them right so then we were on the next word. The next word to learn is How about you. In Cook Island we say it like this. Akape’ea koa. Then the next word is the same. Meitaki au. ( I am fine )
Next our teacher tested us again, but she didn’t test us on those words which is, How are you and I am fine. She tested us on all the words. She tested us on the first word. Like Hello, she started with. ( Kia Orana ) The next word is to say is How are you?'' ( Pe’ea koa ) The next is I am fine.
( Meitaki au ) The big word is How about you. ( Akape’ea koa ) Then it is just the same word which means I am fine. ( Meitaki au )
Then we went to get our chromebook and did some writing about Cook Island week. It was pretty hard pronouncing it, but I did it. I didn’t know how to pronounce it but when I got tested I got it right. The best part about learning Cook Island words is that it is Cook Island week. My mum always says this to me if I take a long shower. Aere - Hurry up. I learnt more words from a video which means Goodbye. Aere ra - Goodbye. Eno’ora - Goodbye.
After we all went home. When I went home I asked my mum how to say some Cook Island words. When I asked my mum how to say Cook Island words I said thank you in Cook Island. Thank you - May-tah-key.
Finally we arrived at school and focused on our Cook Island words. I was so happy, excited, grateful and marviles because I got to learn some Cook Island words and got to use it in front of the school. The best part is that I am a Cook Islander. I got to learn some things from my teacher Mrs Kumar. Especially when I got to correct her.
