Samoan Language Week’s Umu

Excitement, Cheering, Laughter.

Hot Steam, Hot Food.

National Anthem


Finally, Friday. But not just a normal Friday. It was a day of two events! Room 6’s Assembly and a Samoan Umu! But of course, it was Miss Haslem’s Last Day. 

A Samoan Umu is a traditional Samoan oven cooked above the ground. There are volcanic rocks on the bottom. At 10:00am, that's when the fun started. First of  all, Room 6’s Assembly. Their Assembly was all based on their learning. They were learning about plants. 


About an hour later..


Just before lunch time we got to see a glimpse of My Family finishing up the Umu. First of all, they took off the banana leaves and the newspaper covering the food wrapped in tin foil. The helpers and myself helped to bring the food onto the table, and now, it was time for the Samoan lunch/Umu!


At lunch time, our class and the school sat down on the top court near the flagpole. Mr T. told us why we were sitting there. Then we sang the Samoan National Anthem (O Le Fu'a o Le Sa'olotoga o Samoa). While Mr T. was raising the Samoan Flag. After the National Anthem, our school came down to the school hall to see the yummy and delicious Samoan food.

Mr Tyrell gave a speech in Samoan and English before we ate. Father Benedict came to bless the food. After blessing the food, Junior classes went first then Senior classes came last. I was last in the line but I could wait. I had Rice, Chop Suey, Taro and a traditional food called Palu Sami.


After eating, Miss Haslem said goodbye to our class, saying how she liked teaching us for five weeks. Overall, it was a fun day trying our Samoan food. But, sadly there is an ending to a good time, but otherwise. That was my day of the Samoan Language week Umu!

Holy Spirit Artwork Reflection

Holy Spirit Artwork

Your Holy Spirit Artwork Photograph goes here


  1. What did you accomplish?

I accomplished dying paper and painting The holy

spirit onto the paper.


  1. Are you satisfied with your final artwork? Why / Why not?

I’m very satisfied with my artwork because I have been working

hard during the time of making the artwork and I think it’s

all worth it.





  1. What did you find easy when creating your Holy Spirit artwork?

It was easy painting and outlining because the only

colour I was using was black and I just needed to

paint one color in the outline.





  1. What did you find challenging when creating your Holy Spirit artwork? 

I found finding an image challenging

because some of the images I wanted to use were too

hard to draw or paint. 



  1. What do you need to work on?

I might need to work on using more paint,

because when the paint dries, you can still see gaps.






  1. What would you adjust with your Holy Spirit Artwork? 

I would adjust my painting skills, because I was

painting a little bit over the outline.





7. What would you do next time to improve your Holy Spirit Artwork?

I would improve on the color selection, because during

the time I only used black.
