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.

ROOM 1 VALUES and HANDS OF GOALS

During week 4 Room created hands to display the goals they wished to achieve in 2016.
