🕺Cook Island Dance Practice - Leaders 🕺

IALT: reflect on the strengths and weaknesses we had while this practice.

So for a bit of the morning, and after interval for a while the student leadership team (Student Councils), had some dance practice and rehearsal to do. Since it was Cook Island language week our leadership team was asked to choreograph or create an item in relation to the Cook Islands culture. It was hard but in the end we were able to find a song, and create a short dance going with the song. 

In this rehearsal I think our main weaknesses was working with both genders. It was hard to include both genders, which is why we found it easier to separate into boys and girls, and choreograph our dances before combining our dances into one.

Our main strength in my view point was connecting our idea's with one another's. For example when an 2 individuals had an idea instead of picking one over the other, we thought of ways to combine those two moves together.

Overall, we were able to find that we made a short, entertaining, and relational dance to the Cook Island culture.

Do you celebrate Cook Island language week? & How?

What I would like to work on next time? Involving everyone more often, and making sure everyone's feels safe to give out an idea?!

💮 Cook Island Hobbies 💮

IALT: find and research about Cook Island hobbies.

As you may know Cook Island language week is next week. To celebrate this we decided to do a bit of learning behind the scenes of this beautiful, graceful culture. As we were researching I found new things related to the culture. Fun fact, you should call the cook islands cook islands with a S, because there are 15 of them. Cool right, I didn't know that until I researched and learned more about it. I came across some interesting topics. I found a lot of hobbies from the cook islands culture, but to support the idea's I found with the text or content I read I decided to insert links to those websites. I kind of used the S.E.E structure a little. I explained and my example was within the images inserted and the links inserted.

This DLO of Cook Islands hobbies, was brought to you or created by myself and another learning peers/classmate of mine Ana. To hear more, and read more on Ana's blog about her learning click HERE to guide you to her blog.

In my perspective, what I found a struggle was reading. I wanted so much to get straight to the point of what I was looking for. But yet I had a read and get through a lot of content just incase I missed text. To find more answers and learn more information I then decied to try go back and re-read, by doing this I could try and read between the lines to develop more.

How would you celebrate Cook Island language week?
