Ugene's Cook Island Language Learning Story

Ugene's Cook Island Language Learning Story


 Tatou katoatoa e tou kia orana tatou atu 


So when we learn Cook Island Maori at Corinna School, we all go to a certain place at a certain time so if you were in Cook Island with Abby you will go at 1:50pm and if you are in Samoan with Sia you would go around 2:20pm and stay there for an hour and 30 minutes. It’s the same go for the  Cook Island students. We are so lucky to have people in our community who take their own time of the day to come teach us. So I would just like to thank Ti, Sia, Abby and  Malia for everything they do not just for their own kids but also the students of Corinna School. I love doing Cook Island Language because it give me an opportunity to learn more about my ancestors and my culture.

My Learning Story
I am good at always getting my Cook Island work done when Abby gives us work because when i get it done I can help my classmates get there work done too. We can learn something else and also we can also have fun.

I’ve got better at learning more about my Cook Island Language when we are at Cook Island class because I never used to know a lot about my Cook Island language.

I need to work on showing my classmates my work before I show Abby because my classmate don’t believe me when I'm finished. Why should I show them it's none of their business to be honest?
   
I feel proud that I am starting to learning more about my Cook Island language and now am feel proud there ever that I'm a Cook islander and that people respect Cook Island. Our Cook Island teacher always has work to do 

Rylee’s Feedback
You are good at being respectful because I always see you staying focused when learning. You need to work on learning what the words mean because I can tell sometimes you get confused and mixed up.

Ugene 2017 Athletics learning story

Ugenes Athletic Story: Today I was exhausted, tired and sore. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about 'Athletic Days’ My first activity was discus throw where I got bronze. I was good at cheering people on and using the right arm technique so I can throw the discus further. Something I liked was sprint's/long distances. At the end of the activity, I was sweating with tired legs. In sprints, I got silver and gold for long distances. I was good at not worrying if I was coming last I still persevered and kept on running. The activity I didn’t like was high jump I found it difficult to lift my leg and to jump high but the skill I used was to ignore any distractions happening and focusing on getting myself over the pole. My next steps are to use both my arm and leg movement so I can easily move my body to make it over the pole. The next activity was vortex, I got bronze. The technique I used was keeping my throw straight and not aimi...
