Talofa Lava. Afio mai.
Hello. Welcome.
Today BMPS started the day a little differently than usual. Gathering together in the hall, we sung the Samoan national anthem and joined together in lotu (prayer) to officially welcome in Samoan Language Week.
The challenge has been set to embrace the Samoan language and culture as we continue to celebrate diversity.
On Aso Faraile (Friday) the school will gather together again to share and celebrate some of the learning that we have been doing.
Thank you to Mrs Luteru who so generously gave her time to beautifully decorate the school hall and
also special thanks to Cherish and Mikayla Gibson for the Samoan siva (dance) they shared with us.
What a great way to welcome Samoan Language Week. I bet Cherish and Mikayla danced beautifully. Do you think they will perform at our culture festival next term? What a treat that would be!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the dance so so so much!!! I hope I can see it again sometime.
