Adopt a country - Mangaia School - Tokelau

Danielle Cochrane has just returned from advisory work carried out by the Education Ministry in the Mangaia School and is giving us a feedback with the “Adopt a Country Programme”.
Mangaia School has been assigned Tokelau as their Pacific Mini Games country and the teachers and the children are working together to gather information about Tokelau. In Social Science they are teaching the history of the Games and also the history of the country that they are adopting.
Tekau Daniel is the teacher in charge of the library and assisted the children with setting up their display for the WYNC and the PMG09. In Home Economics they are looking at the food in Tokelau and also traditional sports that is played there. In English the children are writing poems for these two events and about Tokelau.
The children are excited about these two sporting events to be held in Cook Islands, even though they are in the Outer Islands, they are getting involved.
