Samoan Language week

Samoa Language Week

Talofa Lava! 

Vaiaso o le Gagana  Sāmoa - Samoa Language Week is being held from Sunday 26 May – Saturday 1 June 2019. 

Our theme for this year is: ‘Lalaga le si’osi’omaga mo se lumana’i manuia’ - ‘Weave an environment for a better future’.

This week we sang songs, learnt greetings, printed tapa, made lei and celebrated by wearing our cultural finery.

Here are some photos and video of things we learnt or did.

Moe moe pepe was our poem of the week - Here are Avril and Giovanna singing it for us.

Here is the song we learnt for our Samoan Language assembly on Friday.
