Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language Week

 Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language Week

Samoan Language Week is celebrated for one week, starting from the end of May to the beginning of June — the exact date differs annually. This year, it falls on May 26 to June 1. This holiday is celebrated in New Zealand to honor the Samoan culture and language, which is the language of the Samoan Islands — comprising Samoa and the United States territory of American Samoa.

At Uxbridge the children really enjoyed experiencing some unique new art mediums using natural coloured dye, as well as learning about different types of Samoan flowers and designs. 

The centre  was full of music from the island.  The Tamariki had a go at drumming and listening to different beats sitting together at mat time, there was lots of laughter and great rhythm. 

There was fale (house) building set up with some provocations that inspired their constructions.
