What we know about Samoa - a photostory

Room 4's assembly - 9 March 2012



At our assembly we shared our mihi's and our silhouette art. We sung the Library Song and If you're happy and you know it. We also showed the school the performance we did at the hui - Savalivali, read out our shared story (Meanies) and our poem of the week (Ten Little Monkey's). We were feeling a bit nervous and scared after the assembly. We tried to be brave. Afterwards we felt happy and proud.
