Last week was national language or culture week, here in French Polynesia, to celebrate Matotea's primary school has an open day, with a little expo of the traditional activities that each class has been doing. Granny and grandpa got to visit the open day a couple of years back, this year it was Heimana's turn, and she is SOOOO ready to go to school.
Every morning she waits by the truck-stop with Matotea, with her backpack on, waiting for the day when she too will be allowed to go! Here are a few pictures from the open day, Matotea's class was doing string games, cat's cradle (not sure how traditional that is, but they were all rather cute grappling with their strings!).
The cat's cradle is called the canoe here, and they have a mosquito and taro field too....
There were also flowers made from coconut fiber, painting on coconut fiber as well as a healthy eating display, complete with taro fritters (delicious but not too low fat!).....
