Samoan language week

Samoan Language week 

2 week ago was Samoan Language week.All of the Samoan kids came on Monday wearing there nice dress.The Samoan Bilingual classes and the teachers decided to bring all of the classes in May Road School to come to the hall because they planned to do taste of Samoa.

On a Monday morning we were learning about Koko. Where the Koko comes from,How they were made and what they do with the Koko.I learnt that the chocolate inside the Koko comes out from a Cacao tree that is build in a plantation.So they get the pods from the Cacao tree and the beans inside they cook it until it is dryed. When they are dryed they crunch the beans util they are smooth and when they are like a powder.Then they add some boiling water into the powder and some sugar,then add some milk into it and then you are able to drink the delicious Koko.In the book that we read had said you can make the koko and sell them to the Saturday market or give them to the chocolate factory.

After lunch we heard that we were next to go down to the hall to taste some amazing Koko and how they are made in real life.Everyone in room 15 rushed out the door and went inside the hall.We first got into groups of four and went to different section.The first section that me and my group stop at was section three.That section had necklaces,Big massive bowls,jewellery,Samoan broom and other Samoan stuff.Section 4,section 4 was 2 boys teaching us where the taro come out from and how they peal it.I got a turn to have a little chance to peal the taro.Section 5,section five was the final time to get a little taste of the Koko. I saw how they crunch the Koko and how they do the Koko. The Koko was pretty yum.Section 1,section one was girls talking about how they can make necklace,earrings and other things with coconut.Section 2,section 2 was nice,James was teaching us how to get the white yum thing inside the coconut.I got to taste it .

It was Friday were all the Samoan culture put on there dancing clothes and start to put on a performance for us at assembly.We all got our camera out and started to take some photo's and video.I could not believe my eyes as I saw one of the most lovely costume I ever saw out of the Samoan clothes.She had a tapa cloth around her waste and wore a Samoan head band thing around her head.This head band had some decoration on it.It has a mirror ,fluffy feathers and some shells on it.

That was the busy day of Samoan language week.I had the funniest day of my life.I wish I could see and taste some Samoan stuff again sometimes.That was the end of Samoan language week.
