Samoan Language Week - Room 3

Ms Brickland - June 4, 2019

Vaiaso o le Gagana Sāmoa - Samoan Language Week was held from Sunday 26 May – Saturday 1 June 2019.

Talofa Lava!

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

Key proverbs

Ia ō gatasi le futia ma le umele – May the essential components be of equal strength

Ia soso’o le fau ma le fau – Allow two of equal strength to follow each other

O le aso ma le filiga, o le aso ma le mata’iga tila – A day to focus on the job at hand, another to reflect

A malu i fale, e malu i fafo – Respect yourself and others will

E tua le fale tele i le faleo’o – Even the mighty needs others

We have been so lucky to have Ma'ilinoa Elia come to Room 3 this week to support our Samoan Language Learning!

We learned how to dance the 'Siva', sing the Samoan National Anthem, and play several games! It was absolutely amazing! Look at the cool photos of us dancing!!

Fa'afetai Ma'ilinoa!!!
