Siva Samoa!!!

Siva Samoa!!!

The traditional culture of Samoa is a communal way of life-based on Fa'a Samoa, the unique socio-political culture. In Samoan culture, most activities are done together. In the Samoan culture, there are 3 main parts, that is faith, family, and music. The aiga or extended family lives and works together. 

In the Siva Samoa I found the actions challenging because I couldn't memorise it. The Siva Samoa dance actions was hard to remember it because we only practised it for only a few days.

During the Siva Samoa dance I enjoyed learning the Siva Samoa with my friends and also because it was only girls , Most of us felt more comfortable because the boys were away in their own time practising their Lome-Lome. The Lome-Lome which is a Samoan slap dance that boys do, The Lome Lome is hard because they slap their selves fast and hard so it hurts.

In the Siva Samoa, there are meanings to the actions they use in the Siva Samoa the actions are meanings are 
Mo'emo'e ( Run ) that's the first move in the Siva Samoa 

Ifo ( Bow ) Is when you take a bow then you 

Bring your hands down and up slowly which is pulling your pants up 

Bring your hands down from the top which is putting a shirt on 

Up and down which is brushing your hair
Put one hand on your knee and one hand in the air and move left and right then you swap to the other. 
... Which is Putting your shoes on then that's the end.

I and my friends have learned a short Siva Samoa from this video below try it and enjoy it!

What I'm looking forward to is having fun learning the different cultural
dances and meanings of their cultures...


How to be a good Person

How to be a good person

Good is the person who acts out of the kindness of their heart. Good is the person who does the right thing even when no one is looking. 

Good is the person that stops’s comparing there self towards other’s. Good is the person that can make small changes. Good is the person that love’s there self and Good is also the person that be’s the best they can.

  Honest


Honesty gives us great moral strength. It requires courage and boldness to be honest, as being honest may sometimes be difficult. But an honest and truthful person does not care for what may happen by staying with the truth.

 Honesty will succeed ultimately, while dishonesty will soon be discovered.Honesty leads you to the simple life that is uncomplicated in the absence of all the non-essentials. It allows you to focus on the more important things in life.


                   Respectful

Respect is defined as to feel or show esteem or honour for someone or something. An example of respect is being quiet in a cathedral. An example of respect is truly listening to someone speak. 

An example of respect is walking around, rather than through, protected wilderness.Be polite. Always be polite to everyone you meet during the day, from your family members to your co-workers, to the checkout person at the grocery store.


     Helpful 

Helpful is someone or something useful, that provides assistance or aid, or that is prone to providing aid. When someone gives you good and useful advice, this is an example of helpful advice. When a person is always asking what he can do to assist you, this is an example of a helpful person.

Helping others takes the selfishness in our lives and replaces it with selflessness. It gives us a sense of self-worth and makes us feel good about ourselves. One act of kindness turns into countless acts of kindness


Conclusion 

 It's so important to remember that you're a good person and you don't deserve to be treated or feel like otherwise. The biggest problem that people often face is that struggle of others taking advantage of you and your good heart.

( Genomics ) Checking our Cheek Cells through Microscopes.

Genomics Microscopic Cheek Cells

Today in the early afternoon Room 5 home class got the opportunity to look at our own cheek cells. 

Firstly , We all got into pairs my buddie was Lepisi, we all got given a Popsicle stick each. We had use them and rub them on the inside of our cheeks. Mrs Ilaoa also put on some solution on our slides.

Secondly, After gathering up all our Cheek cells we then put it on a slide and decided who was going to put their cheek cells near the white side and who was going to put it near the further est side. 

Thirdly, We waited for it to set and dry. ... while we were waiting Mrs Ilaoa then said we have 2 choices either to do Maths Whizz or Finish our work of. finally the Cheek cells were dry and then Mrs Ilaoa helped us put on the slides into a microscope and then we got to look through the microscope and actually see what my own Cheek cells look like!!!

Overall, This was very exciting and I enjoyed it. I also turned out to be a bit creeped out by looking at I and Lepisi Cheek Cells!!!
