Room 1 making a "Takihi"

NIUEAN LANGUAGE "MAKING A TAKAHI" During our last week of the term Mr Lukupa decided to teach the class how to make a traditional Niuean dish called a "Takihi" It is made with taro, coconut cream, and paw paw. It was not only a fun experience but also an educational opportunity to learn how to cook and to learn about hygiene and the Niuean culture.

Playing fun Niuean games.

As a fun way to introduce the Niuean language to the class I decided to teach Room 1 two Niuean games that children play at the Niuean village sports day. Game one is a skiing game where the students are dragged across the grass while holding onto a long stick. The idea is to balance and stay on the coconut tusk with out falling. The second game is a game just like javelin where the students must throw a stick called a "Sika" as far as they possibly can. The winner is the thrower who has thrown the "Sika" furtherest. ≈

Niuean Language. "How are you"

This week Room 1 have moved on from greeting each other to adding an extra sentence which was to ask "How are you" the reply was "I am well thank you" Malolo nakai a koe? Are you well? Malolo a au fakaue. I am well thank you.  Room 1 struggled at first with pronouncing "A au" but with practice every student was able to complete the task. Tp help reinforce what the students had learnt they had to present their new found knowledge using a speech dialogue.  https://youtu.be/R7xlIbiey_0 A big thank you to Phoenix and Jai for modelling the correct dialogue.
