Our first week
at Takitumu came to an end; the time is flying by too quickly. The school held
their assembly in the morning which was a spectacular sight for us to
experience. The children sang many traditional songs including our first
experience with hearing the Cook Islands national anthem. Their voices and
spirit were both inspiring and emotional for us to hear. We continued our
reading time with the children and tried our first ice block. Barb will begin
to support the children on the Nessy computer program next week and will
complete the 50th anniversary invitation for the school. The day
ended early as the children would be practicing sports in preparation for the
end of term island competition between schools. We took advantage of our free
time on the beach by the KiiKii. We enjoyed a fish dinner at a local restaurant
where the local beach cat bullied his way into a few bites of fish.
Message of the
Day:
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect
to sit.”
