Finished Siapo Patterns

Talofa lava bloggers,

Earlier in the term, we participated in Samoan Language Week.  You can read about it here.  As part of a combined Math and Arts activity, we started to design some Siapo patterns.  We are very proud to show you the completed patterns. They look great displayed on our classroom wall. 

Week 7 - Samoan Language Week

Talofa Lava Bloggers,

This week we have celebrated Samoan language week in Te Ana Ako.  We participated in a range of activities to develop our knowledge and awareness of Samoan Language and culture.  Some of our highlights were:

• Reading about, then creating a model of a fale.
• Finding out about and creating Siapo patterns.
• Using Samoan language to work on our Maths Place Value goals.
• Matching Samoan, Te Reo Maori and English family words as part of our pepeha work.

We have added some photos below.  Please check our blog later on as we focus on publishing our Siapo patterns that we have drafted in our Maths books too.
