Samoan Language Week Phrases

Last week was Samoan Language week and for Samoan Language week our Teacher came up with an interesting challenge for us. The challenge was to create a Google video giving tips on how a new Samoan student surviving in a English class without having any trouble with asking questions. We came up with making phrases so that the English Students and the Teachers know what the new Samoan student is saying.

Panmure basin art

This week PBS went on a school walk to the Panmure Basin. It was an exciting and fun journey. During the walk we learn about the mangrove tree’s that grow in the water, and the Taniwha, Moko Ika Hiku Waru, that lived under the Bridge at the basin. After we got back from the walk our task was to trace an landscape of the Panmure basin. This was fun and enjoyable to do.

 

Kapa Haka Perfomance (Teacher Only Day)

 

As you can see in these photos, we had a special day performing for a Teacher-Only Day. It was for schools in our cluster, meaning teachers and principals from different schools all came together. The event took place on Friday, the 28th of May.

We had to arrive at school at 8:00 AM to get ready, put on our kapa haka clothes, and get our moko stamped on our faces. After a quick warm-up, we left the changing rooms and performed at 9:00 AM.

We had practised for this day for a long time, and we finally got to put all that hard work into action! We performed the items Tāmaki ETuiMatariki, as well as the haka and a karakia. At the end, we formed a pathway to welcome our guests in. So many of them commented on how good our performance was. I felt so proud and happy that we were able to perform to the absolute best of our ability.
