Samoan Food

In week one we were looking at food cross the Pacific Islands. We are focusing on Samoa! We have lots of students from Samoa in our classroom so we're really lucky to have lots of our own knowledge.

We shared our knowledge about the weather and how it would affect the food that could grow in Samoa. We decided that we would find lots of tropical foods like coconut and pineapple, because the weather was warm all year. Foods like that wouldn't grow well in New Zealand. We know that Samoa is an island and has water all around it and so people in Samoa eat lots of fish because they can easily go fishing!

We all wrote a little fact sheet and talked about it with our syndicate in our sharing time on Thursday. We learnt lots about Fiji and Niue from Room 6 and Room 8A when we arrived after our PE slot!
