During the week, we read a book called 'Lālalava' which the children really enjoyed reading and acting out the story using the lāvalava I brought from home. I also saw many children use the lāvalava in different ways. Some children wrapped baby dolls with the lāvalava, and others used them as blankets as well as wearing them.
We learnt how to say hello in Samoan, whcih was 'Talofa!' and welcomed Zoe's mother who came with a big pot of yummy sapasui. We all shared the sapasui together, and many children liked it and had seconds! Zoe's mum also taught us a Samoan song which we will keep practising.
Throughout the week, the children were so excited about learning about Samoan culture, and language. When we went to Positive Assembly, some of us wore lāvalava . One of the children said "We are a lāvalava family!" Such a wonderful description of us. It really shows how close we are as members of Room 2 and that we really appreciate and respect each others culture and where we are from.
To Zoe's mum, thank you so much for all the support that you have given us!
