Varaire-Friday 7th August

Cook Island dress up day. Meitaki parents/whanau for helping our tamariki look beautiful today.

Tie dying was a great way for tamariki to explore colours, patterns and imagination 

A quick walk around the block was an opportunity to share our Cook Island attire with our community, and of course 

we ended our Cook Island Language Week with lots of dance and music!

Meitaki Maata. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say a special thanks to everyone who participated and made our week one to remember!
