Week 7 of Term 2 marks Samoan Language Week or Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa.
To commemorate this at Wesley Intermediate week, we have been doing a few things.
Each day there is a phrase that students have to translate in order to get house points for their house.
Below are the slides that we have been viewing each day with the phrase. Do you know what answers to these questions are??
In addition to this, we have also been having a house volleyball competition. Windsor played off against Marlborough for the 3rd/4th play off at morning tea today, and Sandringham are playing Edinburgh at lunchtime to see who the champions will be!
We also have a Pasifika-themed mufi day on Friday!
Faafetai and alofa atu,
Mr Ferguson

ReplyDeleteMy name is Pisirina and I am a student from Pt England School. It is so great to see other schools celebrating samoan language week! At our school, we also celebrate samoan language week. You seem to be very fluent in samoan, what a great way to keep in touch with your culture. What other fun activities have you done to celebrate that certain week?

When I read your blog post it sounded really interesting, it sounds really fun that yous have a game of volley ball, us at Point England School also celebrates Samoan Language week, (Somethings about it) when it comes to a week where it celebrates a culture, every Friday the people from that culture or the people who want to perform and support that culture, does a dance to that song in that culture, using the hand motions and moves, go check out our school site to see what we danced to for Samoan Language week, By the way, What is Mufi day?, and what do yous do?

ReplyDeleteMy name is Zamera. I am a Year 8 student from Pt England School,I love your presentation and videos you put on the slides.The capital of Samoa is Apia and the prime minster is Tuilaepa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi. I think the two main islands are Upolu and Savai'i. Pt England school celebrates Samoan diffident, threw out the week the Samoan group practices a Samoan dance and on Friday the Samoan group performance there dance for the whole school. I wonder who is going to win for your volleyball competition?
Kind regards,
Zamera
