Term 2 Events

So yesterday afternoon we had to work on our Term 2 events and reflections. I did this because I couldn't think of anything else to do, and we had to clean our files up and file them in the right place. Te Kapua is a shelter that got put in our school and we sat under there for fiafia, sports, and more, the sports I played was basketball and vs dilworth and we lost to them and then we went to St Peter's and vs them and we lost the game. So the disco theme was that we had to wear pj's but we didn't want to so we wore normal clothes. We had lots of fun at disco and memories were made.

Introduced on May 26, 1948, the new Samoan flag was red with four white stars on a blue canton: On February 24, 1949, a fifth star was added.


 Samoan’s Population


Samoa had a population of 199.3 thousand in January 2021. Samoa's population increased by 1,524 +0.8 percent between January 2020 and January 2021. As you can see the population has gone a bit small and little. 


The capital of Samoa


The capital of Samoa is Apia. Apia, on the northern coast of Upolu, is the country's only town as well as the main port and centre for services and trade, it contains approximately one-fifth of Samoa's population.


Languages in Samoa


Tongan is the closest to Samoan language. Samoan is from the Austronesian family of languages. It is closely related to other Polynesian languages, especially Tongan. Here is a very cursory overview of the language and some vocabulary. A glottal stop is when you start a vowel with your throat closed, as usually is done in English. On google the information said that the Tongan language was the closest to the Samoan language.
