Samoan Language week 26 May - 1 June 2013

Talofa everyone!


This week is Samoan Language week.

The theme for this year is: Fafaga fanau i upu ma tala. Tautala i lau gagana - Feed the children with words and stories.  Speak your language.
The Samoan language is the third most commonly spoken language in New Zealand.

For the week, our morning notices will be read in Samoan and we will have lots of reading and writing activities in all the classrooms.  You can wear a lavalava, an ula or a sei to celebrate.  Come and join us in this funfilled week.

Here are a few simple greatings:

Talofa Lava      -    Hello
'o a mai ' oe ?    -    How are you?
Tofa                 -    Goodbye
Fa' afetai          -   Thank you


So come on buddies, wear your lavalavas, I am most certainly going to be all dressed up in the library.

Love,
Marvin X
Ps: I am still around and have not forgotten about you.  It has just been so cold, so snug up with a lovely book and keep warm.

Kiora Everyone.

Whew!!! This term has been sooo busy. Thanks to all you lovely children who have your book bags, you are awesome! There are still a few of you who must get a book bag. Remember you can buy one from Christina at the office at $2.50 each.

Library News

Hi everybody

Marvin here again. I have been so busy I have not had time to make a new post in quite a while. I have been online ordering LOTS of new books for our library. They are in Shahieda's office being catalogued and covered with special covering to make them last longer. I have sneaked in and had a look and I especially like the look of the new Lego book which shows you how to build lots of different models. I can't wait!! It won't be long and they will be on the shelf for you to borrow.
It is nearly the end of the school year, and so Beth and Shahieda have to check and count ALL the books in the library (whew, a big job!) so you guys need to get all your books back to them by the end of week 5 at the latest.
You are still welcome in the library after week 4, but you will not be able to take books out.
Enjoy this warmer weather and keep reading.

Love Marvin :-)

Olympics 2012

Kiora Everyone!

The day has finally arrived – The Olympic Games 2012 are held in London and is well on the way!  For the next few weeks there will be lots of exciting sport to watch on television.  It is soooo exciting.  New Zealand has won quite a few medals already.  Come and have a look at our display in the library where we keep you updated on how many medals we have on our medals tally chart.

 Ps: Hope it is just as exciting for you....can't wait to get home in the afternoon to follow up on all the   activities.

Cheers for now!
