This week is Samoan language week and to embrace the culture of some of our pupils at school LS1 and LS2 learnt basic phrases and the cultural beliefs of Samoa. My group consisted of Oscar, Leroy and Te Pounamu. We decided to do a DLO based on their flag and their coat of arms. One thing I learnt was that they gained independence in 1962. Were you aware that the Samoan language is the second most spoken language in Auckland?

Samoan Language Week
As it is Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa (Samoan Language week) LS1 and LS2 embraced the Samoan culture by learning certain phrases and cultural beliefs. Today we created a DLO explaining what the coat of arms of Samoa is and what it symbolises and what the Samoan flag is and what it symbolises. The most interesting I found out about Samoa was that they gained independence on June 1st 1962. I also enjoyed reading the motto on the crest. It is Fa'avae i le atua Samoa. It translates into 'God be the foundation of Samoa.' The theme this year is Alofa atu nei. Alofa mai taeao. It means Kindness given. Kindness gained.
