Our Pasifika Mama's!

We had some lovely Pasifika Mama's visit us last week and share their experiences of living in the Pacific Islands. We were shown how to weave a head band, then we practiced Pacific style dance. We had great fun and learned a lot. Check out our slide show....




Our Pasifika Mama's were from....
Niue
Cook Islands
Samoa
Hawaii
Tahita

Have you been to any of these countries and could share your stories with us?

Thanks

    I thought the weaving of the headbands was pretty hard because it was confusing and it was the first time I have ever done that.

    I have never been to the pacific islands but I would love to go to Hawaii - I think it would be relaxing.

    Thanks

    Hi Room 2

    I have been to Fiji before as well as Hawaii. In Fiji there is a hot island called Shell Island. There is a legend going around Fiji that people actually live in shells on this island.

    Fiji and Hawaii are both part of a group of islands in the pacific ocean.

    Hi room 2

    I have been to Hawaii before and I went to the Dole pineapple plantation. I also went snorkeling in the warm waters of Waikiki. After I went snorkeling I saw some dolphins.

    There are five main islands that make up Hawaii and lots of little ones too.

    Hawaii is well known for holidays because it is always warm it does has a rainy season but even the rain is warm!

    Thanks

    Hi Room 2
    I have been to a pacific island before and it was Samoa.I have heard that they have got some water from another country or island.In Samoa they do
    weaving also sometimes they have no power at all.

    Hello room 2,

    I haven't been to any of these countries yet,
    but I would like to go to Fiji because it seems so relaxing there. You also get to get your hair braided and you get to swim in the pools and all sorts of stuff! I've always wanted to get my hair braided, and the best place I know to get your hair braided... Fiji!

    Thanks,

    Aaliya

    Hi there,(room 2)

    I found it easy to do the headband. I thought it was like plating. I liked the drum part the most. The dance was easy as well. And the slide show was really cool.

    Hi room 2! I went to Fiji when I was 4. I was lucky enough to get my hair braided. I loved swimming in the big pool in the resort everyday.

    New Caledonia is an archipelogo located in the Western Pacific Ocean.

    Hi room 4,

    I have not been to any Pacific Island, but I would like to go to Fiji. My mum has been to Hawaii. Mum said that Hawaii is very hot and very beautiful. Hawaii is made up of 8 main islands, the largest island is called the Big Island and is a volcanic island.

    Aloha, Alysha
