Put a 'lil gagana in your life!

Sunday 29 May - Saturday 4 June is Samoan Language Week 2022 and VLN Primary are celebrating with a competition to win some swag from Zoom.

Celebrate Samoan Language Week 2022 with VLN Primary and put a little gagana in your life by creating a short vid on Flipgrid.

If you're just learning, check out the cool activity pack from Te Papa and try out a sentence from PAGE 11 using Samoan words! Vowel sounds are the same as Māori, and the Samoan 'g' is like 'ng' in 'song'

Speak Samoan already? Teach us a phrase! Make sure to include the text so we can learn by reading along as you speak.

Be in to win some cool Zoom swag! Flipgrid entries in the running for a prize will need to include the text of Samoan words so we can read along as you speak. Three prizes will be drawn - primary, intermediate and secondary - so make sure to let us know your school name and level.

You'll be famous, so make sure it's alright for your entry to be public. Enter the competition with this link to Flipgrid
