Pacific Dance performance at Assembly

As part of promoting Samoan Language Week, the Pacific Dance group sang 'Va'ai i le pepe' to the whole school. This is the group's very first performance. Great to see them all on stage! Well done Pacific Dance!

Samoan Language Week

Talofa,

Next week is Samoan Language Week. At Meadowbank School we have some lunchtime activities for the students.

Here is our programme for next week.

Pacific Dance - Song

Thanks to Leela and Maddy who were available to make this video for those who are in Pacific Dance. Please practise the actions and the words to the song. If you don't have a copy please let me know or Miss Carson.

Playing Bingo using Samoan words

Today Miss Blair ended off Homework Club with a game of Bingo. Miss Blair chose to use Samoan language since it is coming up in a couple of weeks. It was fun to play and really great way for the students to learn each others languages.

Here is a video of our game. Fa'afetai lava to Miss Blair for organising the game for the students.
