Samoan Language week

 Last Friday was Samoan Language Week, and it was Miss Haslems last day at this school. In the morning before any of the guests arrived, me and Jia helped set up the chairs for the assembly. Then when the bell rang it was time to go to class. We said prayers and then later on we went to the hall to have an assembly. When it was time to go I took a glance at the parents making the food.

When we walked back to class we continued doing our work. During the day at morning tea, me and my friends checked out the umu down by the court. It had a pile of wet potato sacks, volcanic rocks, banana leaves, then the food, newspaper. It looked like a mini volcano.

When morning tea was finished we went back to go and checked out the umu. We all gathered around the umu. The parents and teachers that were helping were Ayla and Adens parents, Joseph's parents, Mr Tyrell and Mr T. They did all the cooking. 

Later in the morning tea finished, we did our work and then they called us to come and see the umu because it was finished. We went down to the bottom court and we looked at the umu. It had lots of smoke coming from above. Everybody was amazed, the adults took off the covering of the food and then it was time to go and sit in the hall. We sat down then my teacher called us one by one to line up. When it was my turn I had chop suey, pork buns, luau and rice. I was hoping to pankeke but they had run out. 

I sat down with my friends and we ate. The pork bun was so good , especially the meat inside of it. The chop suey tasted very nice and you could taste all the flavour of the meat. It tasted very delicious. When I finished eating I played with my friends then went home. Overall the last day of Samoan Language Week was a blast I can't wait until it comes round again
