🐢My Own Tapa Design 🐢

IAL: how to design my own personal Tapa Cloth

With the task of completing the presentation of the "Pasifika Learners" there came a task in creating your "tapa cloth" which describes you, your likes, your language, your culture, and also your beliefs! When reading this task I was confused but after asking questions and getting answers from my peers I was able to find this easier. The first step and thing I did was list down all the things that I value, find important, and prioritize in life. For example I am the type of girl who loves to sing, who respects and values God, and who prioritizes her family! With all of these came a symbol to show my love for these! With God came a cross, With music came a music note, and lastly with family came my love! 

As you shall view my personal tapa cloth, if you were to guess the type of things I value without using any examples I have used above this text what would it be & why? 

A challenge that I found challenging was thinking about what I like, and trying to think outside of the box! But while adding the unique things about me came adding in what I myself see myself as and not just other people!

What type of person are you?

Why don't you try creating your personal tapa cloth previewing your own beliefs, your language, your culture, and also who you are.

🇼🇸Samoan Language Week 🇼🇸

WALT: reflect completing a task based on Samoan Language Week.

I just finished completing a task based on Samoan Language Week, because this week is Samoan Language Week!!! There was all sorts of questions like for example, your favouirte samoan person, the distance between New Zealand & Samoa, The capital of Samoa & New Zealand, and many more questions that has helped me extend my knowledge on the Samoan Culture. I was not only able to learn about the capital cities, or the biggest villages of Samoa, but I was able to dig deep into the opening greeting (Hello), and also how to say Goodbye, which could be a goal I could work towards in the future by practising new words in a different unfamiliar culture I don't often use at home.

Something I enjoyed about this task was that I was able to adapt into another unfamiliar culture, and which was something I enjoyed mainly because it was deeper than just research it was getting to know the culture on it's own!

Next time though I would like to work on asking more questions in both the English and Samoan language, and also learning phrases I could use in class for the next week since it's Samoan Language Week, and I could maybe even use them at home getting my family to not only speak English, & Tongan but also Samoan adding another interesting language to the family.

What do you think about this? & Do you know anything about the Samoan culture!

Well, click the emoji of the Samoan Flag to access a website full of facts about Samoa - 🇼🇸
