Samoan Week

Wow this week is very special for all Samoan people as it is Samoan week. Today Pt England school is going to be having guest over from Tamaki College. They will be doing a very special performance for us, the thing that is special is that they have been here before to give us luck for FiaFia night and it worked. The hall was already set for them and all they had to do is put on a good performance.

As usual we sing the New Zealand national anthem, but we will also be singing the Samoan national anthem. Before watching the Pt England students and the Tamaki College students perform for us Sarenity and Christian says a prayer in Samoan for us. They say a different one but it all means the same but special.

The Pt England students will be doing the opening and the students from Tamaki College is going to be doing the closing performance for us. “The Samoan group is going to be doing the opening and here they are” said Mr Burt. After watching their performance for about 10 minutes the audience was screaming out loud “Go Pt England Samoan students” The thing that I liked about their performance is that they did it their hardest not just for us but for the Samoan people all over the world.

Did you know that Samoan people are very good at celebrating? Because when Samoan people play volley and one of them gets a point or hits the ball over the net then they give them a round of a clause. They did a very cool performance that they showed us.  I really liked watching their dance because we already watched once but there was a little less people but great voices.
