Umu
Friday I said to myself But not just a normal Friday. It was a day of two events! Room 6’s Assembly and a Samoan Umu! But of course, it was Miss Haslem’s Last Day. A Samoan Umu is a traditional Samoan oven cooked above the ground. There are volcanic rocks on the bottom. At 10:00am, that's when the fun started. First of all, Room 6’s Assembly. Their Assembly was all based on their learning. They were learning about plants. About an hour later..Just before lunchtime, we got to see a glimpse of My Family finishing up the Umu. First of all, they took off the banana leaves and the newspaper covering the food wrapped in tin foil. The helpers and I helped to bring the food onto the table, and now, it was time for the Samoan lunch/Umu! At lunchtime, our class and the school sat down on the top court near the flagpole. Mr. T told us why we were sitting there. Then we sang the Samoan National Anthem (O Le Fu'a o Le Saolotoga o Samoa). While Mr. T. was raising the Samoan Flag. After the National Anthem, our school came down to the school hall to see the yummy and delicious Samoan food Mr. Tyrell gave a speech in Samoan and English before we ate. Father Benedict came to bless the food. After blessing the food, Junior classes went first then Senior classes came last. I was last in the line but I could wait. I had Rice, Chop Suey, Taro, and a traditional food called Palu SamiAfter eating, Miss Haslem said goodbye to our class, saying how she liked teaching us for five weeks. Overall, it was a fun day trying our Samoan food. But, sadly there is an ending to a good time, but otherwise. That was my day of the Samoan Language week Umu.
