It's been an exciting week for our tamariki at BestStart Raureka as we celebrated Samoan language week. We have watched some amazing Siva, done some beautiful art work and were even lucky enough to have a Aiga "family"come in and teach us the mili mili patia. We ended our week by eating some yummy panikeke, which went down a treat.

Teaching our children about other cultures and traditions helps them to build a sense of identity and understanding that not everyone is the same and to celebrate their differences. By understanding one another's cultures it helps us to relate to one another.
