Big Book of the Week

Sauni mo le aoga (Getting Ready to School)

Sa matou faitau ma talatalanoa i le uiga o le tusi lenei. E tele lava ni aoaoga sa matou maua mai ai. Sa mafai ona matou faatusatusa le olaga i Samoa i le olaga i Niu Sila nei. E ese le oa ma le tamaoaiga o lenei tusi i lo matou aoaoina i le gagana faitau tusi, tusitusi, iloiloga, vaavaai ma isi lava aoaoga.

We learned a lot from this book Getting Ready to School. The story was told in the gagana Samoa and it was written from the Samoan way of life. We compared the life in Samoa to New Zealand. In Samoa when children starts school they takes a broom, fine mats and a woven bag made out of flax. In New Zealand we used modern school bags, we carry lunch in containers or lunch boxes and we have book bag to carry our books.

We are proud to be Samoan and we learned how to make a Samoan broom out of the coconut leaves. We made mats using papers, we learned new words everyday we read and write. Here are some of our activities learned from the book- Sauni mo le aoga.

Tuatana Teina - learning by modelling
Our parents came and support us with making the fala.

 Ua faataitai e le tina o Ratu le lalagaina o le fala i tamaiti

 Modelling to the children how to weave a mat using papers

 O le tina o Divine o lo'o faataitai i isi tamaiti le faiga o le fala






                                            


 Ua uma foi le fala a Isaiah

 Ua faasino, e faapenei ona lalaga.
