O taeao o aso taitasi, e muamua lava ona fai le matou lotu e taitaia lava e le fanau. O se avanoa tāua lea mo le fanau, e a’oa’oina ai le soifua fa’aleagaga aemaise le tautala i le Gagana Samoa. O le matou ata lea e fa’aali atu ai le faiga o le matou lotu. E fai a matou tauloto, o pesepesega, talosaga ma le faafeiloaiga. O le matou talotaloga ina ia avea lenei ata e fesoasoani atu ai i nisi o fanau o le atunu’u o lo’o taumafai fo’i e fa’alauteleina le malamalama i la tatou gagana ae maise le ola fa’aleagaga.
Ia manuia la outou silasila matua ae matou ola i le alofa o le Atua soifua!
Bilingual classrooms for Pasifika have many special features that grow and nurture the growth of children in language and wholeness. This is a video of how Potu Lua starts every single day of school. Greetings, prayers, encouraging verses and songs are all a part of this morning tradition. We hope that this will encourage you to do the same in your bilingual/immersion classrooms.
We look forward to your comments. Fa’asoa mai!
