Samoan Language Week

This week has been Samoan Language week. In class we have been using "Talofa" as our daily greeting. 

On Friday we also had a special guest, Christina came in and talked to us about traditional and modern Samoan clothes, jewellery, sign language in Samoan, coconuts and a myth all about how the coconuts came to be in Samoa, The Legend of the Eel.
Christina is J.T.'s mum and Robin's aunty and we loved having her teach us more about her Samoan culture. 


J.T., Robin and Anthony also loved showing off their culture during the week and helped us learn how to count to 10 in Samoan.

Here is a video we also used to help us that Mrs Peeters sent us.
