Manurewa High School
Year 10 Samoan
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Sime.
This course is a full year course aimed at students who want to learn basic Samoan language and/or want to gain a better understanding of the Samoan language and culture. Throughout the Year 10 course students will be able to describe the weather, create invitations and know the formal words for invitations, understand Samoan instructions to preparing foods and cultural protocols, learn about specific body parts, learn the different traditional attire of Samoan culture, create basic Samoan handicrafts and learn the connection of the Samoan way of life with Samoan myth and legends.
To allow for authentic experiences with food, there will also be a restaurant trip for our Year 10 Gagana Samoa class, this will support their learning in terms of what to say, how to order food, the respectful terms and restaurant talk.
