Happy Samoan Language Week everyone!
This week in Arapere Class we have been learning lots of new Samoan words for the items around our classroom, like tusi (book), penitala (pencil), seleulu (scissors) and many more. We have also been lucky enough to try some traditional Samoan dishes like koko Samoa and kokoalaisa, thanks to our wonderful Learning Assistants, Mrs Falefa and Miss Taua.
To end our week we designed and made our very own Samoan ili (fan) - not very useful with the weather the way it is at the moment, we admit, but they'll certainly come in handy when the weather warms up again. Here's an ata (photo) of our finished work.
Fa'afetai tele lava for reading our blog!
