When you’re building a foundation for a fale (house) it can’t have a weak foundation or posts. This is the same for the foundations of our families, schools and churches that play an important role in strengthening Gagana Samoa (the Samoan Language). Language is important for the foundations of our overall wellbeing. 
Like Tinana-without this poupou (post), every other poupou will collapse.]]> 2021-05-20 08:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/MWPS/SamoanY3_6/wish/1542981025 2022 Samoan Language Week bernadettel2 https://padlet.com/MWPS/SamoanY3_6/wish/1542999045  
Tālofa lava! Afio mai!
The 2022 Samoa Language Week theme is Fa’aāuāu le Folauga i le Va’a o Tautai - Continue the Voyage with Competent Wayfinders of the Ocean

As part of this year’s overarching theme of ‘Sustainability’, the Samoan community chose a theme that would reflect the journey of language revitalisation and maintenance as well as recognising the importance of having the right tools, good leadership skills, relationships and the correct medium (va’a) that is adaptable to faring the ocean and its elements.

2022 is also a significant year for the Samoan community, being the 60th anniversary of Samoa Independence. Communities are organising activities to commemorate this milestone, which coincides with Samoa Language Week.

If you need any support with your pronunciation, Miss Val or Mrs Ioelu are really happy to help

Today, it is most strongly practised in the west Polynesian island groups of Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. Barkcloth made in Samoa is called siapo. This is a rectangular-shaped siapo with black and brown designs on a white or plain background. There are leaf-like motifs around the border, and geometrical designs in the middle, alternating with light brown grid designs. ]]> 2022-05-25 23:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/MWPS/SamoanY3_6/wish/2199990057 The Arts Music: Pusi Nofu MWPS https://padlet.com/MWPS/SamoanY3_6/wish/2200227557  Animation by Pacific Kids' Learning
