Last Friday we had an Umu. We had an Umu because it was Samoan language week. It was also a sad day because it was Miss Haslems last day teaching us but I don't really care because we will see her when we go to camp.
When we went down to the hall after morning tea it was really smoky so I had to put my t-shirt near my nose and it was a bit smelly. When we came back up to class from watching the Umu we had a little game of Kahoot with Miss Haslem. When we finished our game of Kahoot we did a little bit of maths and compass was with Miss Haslem and that is the group I was in. When we finished maths the bell rang for lunch time. After the bell rang everybody in the school had to sit near the pole that the flags go on when it is a special language week.
After everyone sang the Samoan himi Mr T said that we will be going in the hall to eat the Umu. When we got to the hall Mr Tyrell said a prayer in Samoan. Mr Hadnett said that we are going to go class by class starting in the room 6 kids. I was shocked when It tasted the same as how us Tongans cook it.
I was a bit angry when the rugby league was cancelled because of the Umu but at the same time it was kind of yummy. After lunch everyone went back to their classes and did some learning. But my class and room 4 had a teacher that was leaving on friday and both classes started to cry but room 4 were crying more than us.
Before we went out to the top courts to be picked up we gave our teachers a card and a box of roses which is chocolate. Then Miss Haslem gave us a packet of goodie bags. Even room 4 got a goodie bag from Miss LatuLevi who is Tongan and Niuean. She is from the same two cultures as me.
When I went home I was a bit sad but I was still happy that school was over and it was a long weekend andWe have Monday off.
We have Monday off.
On Friday the school had an Umu for Samoan language also it was Miss Haslems last day teaching us so I have wrote a Doc on the Umu and Miss Haslem
