Afio mai to Samoan language Week.

Afio mai to Samoan language Week.

The cultural leaders opened the week with their national costume and dance.

In room 6 we have been exploring the Samoan Cultural with general facts. We searched for our fact card around the room and collected information for our Jigsaw Reading Hunt.

Next our Samoan experts in class gave us a lesson on greetings and phrases in Samoan.

Then we moved onto counting to ten in Samoan for math before finishing our maths session with a clapping game in Samoan.

Ra Whanau Suzanne Aubert


In room 6 we have been celebrating Suzanne Aubert’s birthday by making flowers for the theme, “Always choose the little flower of hope.”




Suzanne looked



 after sick people, people with disabilities, children whose families couldn’t care for them, and the elderly. The work she started continues to this day in places like Wellington’s Compassion Soup Kitchen.

Suzanne left her home in France and came to Aotearoa to support the Maori people. She honoured the Maori people, their tikanga, reo and rongoa. Suzanne loved God and always thought about what he wanted her to do, not what she wanted, even when that wasn’t easy.

To My Mum

Hand print 

Here is my hand print,

five fingers and all, 

outside they are short,

but the middle is tall,

you will find them on windows,

you can find them on the wall,

they will make a big mess,

for something so small,

one day I will grow,

and leave them no more,

my hand prints will be missed,

of that,I am sure,

so here is one now,

that you can't wipe away,

my present to you,

this mother's day.
