This week is Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - a week to celebrate and explore Samoan language, culture and traditions.

This year's theme is “Alofa atu nei. Alofa mai taeao". This means "Kindness given. Kindness gained." This fits well with our Belfast School values. By showing others kindness, we will receive kindness in return. This week students will be having a go at some basic Samoan phrases. Here are some that you can try at home as well! Ia Manuia! If you have any other phrases you'd like to teach us, please comment below so we can learn with you.
