Talofa Lava Everybody, Last week was Samaon Language Week. Our goal with the video was to show that when kids move from a Samoan speaking home environment into an English speaking classroom, they might need some extra help learning new words, understanding instructions, and adjusting to the different way of communicating in school. We wanted to highlight the importance of supporting these children so they can succeed and feel included. Overall, it was a project to celebrate Samoan language week, raise awareness about the needs of Samoan speaking students, and create something educational and fun that could help both children and teachers understand what’s involved when learning crosses language boundaries.

We have decided to create a art piece of the new bridge that has been made recently. This task was very interesting because I have had the ability to learn more about the basin walk and create this art piece at the same time. Last week, we created a tracing based on the Panmure Basin after recently visiting it. The basin is an important part of our local area, so it was interesting using it as inspiration for our artwork and connecting our learning outside the classroom back into art. While working on my art I have found my work very realistic to the picture.
