First Language Group

Last week we made counting posters in our first language. Then we shared our work by counting in Tongan, Samoan, Cantonese, Fasi, Hindi, Fijian, Afrikaans, Cambodian and Filipino. 

Pacific Island Readers - Tupu Series

Today the Samoan and Tongan children used some of the wonderful books in the Tupu series to read to the younger children. The children love these readers and we are sad that the Education Ministry has now stopped producing them. They are such a powerful resource for the children. We have some in our school library so the children can take them home and read them with their parents and grandparents. To read something in your first language is such a powerful tool.
