Even stones erode but words never decay E pala ma'a, ae le pala upu My mum said it means e pala ma'a, ae le pala le tala And i think it means stones rot but words never break/decay What advice is this alagaupu giving us -What you say to a person can hurt them. -Words can stick-rumors. -Words can ruin ones reputation -Words/ stories can live forever how? it can be passed on (tradition,legends,rumors) -Words are powerful think before you speak.
Malo lava Fasia, you are the only one who has commented in here. Let's go the rest of you... what are the other alagaupu (proverbs) that we have discussed in class. You can talk about: the symbols in the proverbs, the advice it's giving us - po'o aoaoga, what your parents think our alagaupu means, what you think it means based on our discussions in class - ni ou manatu e faatatau i le uiga o le alagaupu... Alu i ai!!
Faafetai lava to our wonderful parents who have been sharing their understandings about our weekly alagaupu. You have been such a great help to our learning. Malo lava!

What you can say to a person can hurt them. Words can stick- rumors. Words can ruin ones reputation. Words are powerful. Think before you speak.

Samoan language week I recalled waking up on the 29th of May 2017 with a self inflicted slap. I quickly got dressed and dashed to school with a amazing great looking ofu tino and a ie faitaga . This was not only to look good , but to highlight the beginning of a special week that only comes once a year. This was Samoan independence. Firstly we had to prepare for Samoan independence day . This included : preparations for items from tmt, twa, manulua, Rowandale, parents, and staff, the preparations of the banners which were organised by the teachers , items or performances that were being practise for Samoan independence every lunchtime, practise for the march which was demonstrated by all the Samoan students , which was taken place from the car park to the courts. Tuesday 30th was the day of the expo about Samoans. This expo contained vital info that even we Samoan students did not know about our culture. On the day of the expo, there were all soughs of stations such as: a taro station on how to make taro, a printing station which tells you how Samoa prints there ie lava, a necklace station, ie toga station …etc. At morning interval, the parents got to eat coco rice, sausages, bread. “It was very appetising “my mother remarked. It was not before we had an awesome time when the expo first started. The expo was so fascinating it was like the discovering of treasure. I struggled to stay in one station because each station was too extraordinary. It was especially wonderful, because not only did were the kids involved, too, the parents of the kids were too. The printing was very amusing to the kids, because they got to print Samoan patterns. The taro station was ultimately one of the best, because not only did the students know how to make taro, but they also had been given taro samples. By Wilson Silipa RM2 Year:8
Preparing On Monday 29th of May 2017 I woke up and noticed it was Samoa language week. ‘’OMG! I had to wear a beautiful ie.’’ As I walked to school I saw TMT wearing their amazing puletasi and their iefaitaga. We had Mrs Lokeni’s tech class preparing the hall for the Samoa expo on Tuesday. They put million of decoration on the walls and transform the hall into a real island expo. It was a bezzy hard working day.
Samoa expo On Tuesday 30th of May 2017, we finally had the Samoa expo. We had same helpful parent that came and helped our unit with the expo. It was nice to see our school watching and enjoying the Samoa expo.
Samoa independent It was a cold and cloudy day. I felt like I was up in heaven. It was on Thursday 1st of June 2017 which meant I had to get ready for Samoa independent day. ‘’OMG! Everyone is going to see me dance and sing.’’
Rowandale On Friday 2nd of June 2017 rm2 had to walk to Rowandale primary school wearing puletasi and ie faitaga. When we arrived at Rowandale we went into their school hall and sat and watched their awesome preformence. When it was time for the most talented rm2 we had to go up stage. I felt nervous and exited at the same time. After everything was finished we had a delicious feed of Samoan food it was sapasui, fai’i and alaisa. By:Hope.Ailepata Rm:2 year:7
