Samoan Language Week

For Samoan Language Week we learned some new words from our expert Samoan speakers in the classroom. Here's some words we learned! 
hello - talofa
thank you - fa'afetai
have a good day - manuia le aso
goodbye - tofa

We also practised counting to ten in samoan - did you ever notice how similar it is to counting to ten in maori? We think that's pretty cool! 
Samoan and Maori numbers to ten
tasi - tahi
lua - rua
tolu - toru
fa - wha
lima - rima
ono - ono
fitu - whitu
valu - waru
iva - iwa

We also started on some Samoan patterned art which we will share when it is finished! Here's a Samoan video we made: By room valu
