Yesterday was quite busy with a quick run to the bank in readiness for our afternoon sojourn to Hamilton for the long weekend. It was also the last school day of the week for the celebration of Samoan language week for 2022 and it was neat to have been able to celebrate it with two other schools.
The first was a local primary school where I was able to read to a group of students at the school library. The books that I read from were: 'Sina and the Tuna'(Sina ma le Tuna) which is always a favourite with the schools that I read at. The second book was 'The footprint of Moso' (O le Tulaga va o Moso).
The second time reading was at the local Samoan bilingual Aoga (Early childhood centre - school) that I am a chairperson at. It's always neat to see the reactions of children and what they think of the story. When leaving the centre gifted to me a plate of Samoan food that we ended up taking with us on our trip out of Auckland and added to our evening meal i.e. taro, green bananas in coconut sauce with fried pisupo (corned beef) and greens. A nice way to end a week of celebrations...
