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 singing a beautiful Niuean song "Sipaio"

"SIPAIO" As the Room 1 teacher, I am extremely proud of the commitment and respect of the students in Room 1. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning about my Niuean culture. This week the class had learnt how to sing a song that every Niuean child learns when they are young. "Sipaio" is a fun vibrant song that translates to the movement of ones body when singing this vibrant song.  https://youtu.be/ZL7ig8fba1A Please visit this link and listen to the beautiful voices of Room 1 .

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. ≈
