Samoan Language Week!

Last week, Owairaka School observed Samoan Language Week! It was a week of awesome fun where we got to learn Samoan culture. During Garden to Table, two of our awesome parent volunteers showed us how coconut cream is made in Samoa. The coconut is first grated by hand, on a large tool. Some lucky students from Room 24 got try this task! Room 24 also got to learn about a traditional Samoan game called Lape. It is a game similar to softball and there is a lot of emphasis on teamwork. Each team had to come up with their own dance and chants to use during the game. We had a blast!
