  3. Great singing room 7 rockers! Emer would like to know how many songs you know in Samoan? We think you were drawing turtles on your art work. Can you tell us why turtles are important to the Samoan culture?

    1. Hi Emer no at this stage that is the only song we know but we might learn another one because it's fun learning new songs especially in a different language!!
      In Samoan folktales, sea turtles were believed to have the power to save fishermen who were lost at sea by bringing them safely to shore. The sea turtles were drawn by the girls and the sharks by the boys!!
      Thanks Emer!

  5. Hi Room 7,

    Room 5 and I watched your imovie's today in class and loved them.
    The children wondered if you could maybe sing it to the school in assembly tomorrow!
