Cook Islands Perform!

What’s going on? Why are there two kids that we don’t even know in our class? Could there be something serious happening? The kids look like they were from the Cook Island. I just sat patiently waiting to see what will happen in a few minutes. Then the teacher said that we have to go down under the cola!

From a distance to where I was standing I could see that there were instruments. Why would there be instruments? We all sat down waiting to see what will happen next……. HELLO we are from the Cook Islands and we are here to perform a dance to you. We all hope that you enjoy listening and watching this dance that we are going to perform to you. They said that they are going to perform four dances. Then the instruments began…. About 24 boys came up dancing with their feet so fast together!!

We listened to the music and the instruments playing (the sound of the beats are so good). Also they were talking in there language so fast and with action. I wish I understand what they were talking about! Next up was the girls and the boys. The girls were so good at dancing and the lady said that anyone could go up and dance! Would you go up and dance? The girls were doing the similar dance as the Lebanese dance. When they were finished they gave our school a souvenir and we thanked them for coming to our school to perform. It was the best time I had ever had! J

Now it was time they had some chips and drinks (they weren’t aloud to eat a lot because they were going somewhere else to eat). Me, Nadine, Sokeina and Momtahina were selling the drinks (not like they were paying for it but for free!J)
