Samoan Language Week

A number of events are are being held all across the country to celebrate the Pacific Island culture. This years theme is weaving an environment for a better future. I think people should learn some Samoan words in order to understand the culture. I think people in the community should learn some Samoan words because if they go on vacation in Samoa they will know a little bit and if the shop keepers in Samoa they talk in Samoan the people on vacation will not understand. but if they learn a little bit you will understand a little bit. I think it is good for my class to learn about Samoan language week because if their families do want to learn some Samoan words then they can tell their families about what words they know.

This week was a little bit different because we went by ourselves instead of buddies. We first watched Mrs Tuipulotu demonstrate then we had to use a butter knife to butter our wrap with mayonnaise. Next we used a vegetable and meat that were prepared for us in separate bowls after we took one bowl we had to add the meat and vegetable onto the middle of the wrap. When we had done that she came around and offered chili sauce after we had put our sauce on our wrap she helped us fold it. At the end we used a paper to cover the wrap. Finally we took a picture and then we ate our wrap at the end we had to clean the table, floor and dishes.
