Today we did a Te Reo task. The main question for this task was Kei Hea A ? What I had to do is find out places around New Zealand and translate the places in Maori. In my task, I created a comic strip based around this task. Enjoy

We had to sit down and wait for the teacher to come. After the teachers gave us our instructions we went to our cabins and we set up our beds. Then after that we went to the gym and did some activities. After the activities we had morning tea. After morning tea we went to our first rotation. My team was Thames so our first rotation was go karts. After our first rotations we had free time, after free time we took a shower then we had a movie after the movie we went to sleep.

Rotuman Language Week


Classification) Rotuma is located in the southern hemisphere. to the north we have Tuvalu, to the east we have Samoa, to the south we have Fiji, and to the west we have Vanuatu. 

(Description) There is a population of less than 3000 people living in rotuman. There is a current population of 2,871 and most of them live in  Fiji making a total of 10,000 people.


The two languages that are spoken are Rotuma and English and sadly the culture is endangered. There are now only 15,000 people speaking the language around the world.


(Conclusion)The Rotuman language can now teach how to never take advantage of our own culture because you never know how long your culture will be there.
