Talofa, today we are celebrating Samoan Language since we have Wananga for the first two periods we get to choose an activity and search some common language phrases and create any type of presentation, and share it with everyone. Samoan, is a communal way of life that was based on Fa'a Samoa, it was a unique socio-political culture.Samoan culture, some of their most activities are done together. Elders in the family are greatly respected and hold the highest status. Also Samoan is knows for other things.
Today I have created some facts like their traditional clothing, games, weddings and more. I'm happy that I have learnt a lot of things about them. Some common Samoan language.
