Week 5, Term 2
Tālofa Mātua, Aīga,
This week, New Zealand celebrates the Samoan Language. The translation of our usual greeting into Samoan Language, is Tālofa Mātua, Aīga.
During International Week, a Samoan mum and her daughter introduced the Year 4 students to a Samoan war cry, which originates from the Samoan traditional war dance, seen at the opening of rugby matches.
This week had the opportunity to share our experience in the Year 4-6 assembly. The students also sang ‘Sit Down, Sit Down" a children's song sung in English, Cook Island Māori and Samoan.
What a huge blessing it is for us to see the way our children embrace other cultures and their willingness to share the gold found in their own cultures.
