Celebrating Samoan Language Week

Celebrating Samoan Language Week

Last week Saint PiusX School celebrated Samoan Language Week. We watched a movie about samoan people climbing trees to get coconuts, making fire with sticks so they can cook their food, and making sure that the rocks are just right so the food doesn't burn.  They don't use glad wrap or foil, they use leaves to wrap food like fish, taro and corned beef. 

Next movie was called the silent one. It was six episodes about a boy who is silent. Everyone thought that it wasn't going to rain if the silent one was there`but they were wrong.

The last thing was we had to practice a samoan dance.  We practiced with our teacher Mr Gaffney.  We all got split into groups, in our group we had only boys. When it was Friday we were ready to show our dancing to the school. I thought it was adults but it was children from downstairs only some adults came but not many of them. It was an awesome week.
