Confucius Classroom Opening Ceremony

Today we had the Confucius Classroom Opening Ceremony.  Meadowbank School is now one of eight schools to gain Confucius Classroom status which means that we will receive some annual funding from Han Ban via the Confucius Institute at Auckland University.

Mandarin has been part of the school programme since 2010. Over 500 students from Year 2 to 6 receive Mandarin lessons at least twice a week. The ceremony had special guests from the Chinese Consulate, Auckland University and other visiting schools. There were official speeches and performances in Mandarin from Meadowbank students.

Room 19 were also part of the special ceremony and performed two songs taught by Miss Ko (Mandarin Teacher) and her assistant Lisa who is here from China.

Thanks to Miss Ko, Lisa and Mr Ayson for a awesome opening ceremony!

Samoan Anthem sung by Meadowbank School Students

A few weeks back during Samoan Language Week some of our very own Meadowbank students were asked to perform the National Anthem of Samoa. We were very proud of them and they did such a wonderful job to kick start the week.

 Malo lava Jordayne, Sera, Anika and Jaya!

Sina and the Eel

Long, long, ago in the islands of Samoa there was a girl named Sina and a eel. Sina befriended the eel.One night the eel told sina of how he once became a prince. The eel became more demanding of sina's love. A week later her cousin was sent to fight the eel. The cousin won by chopping the eel's head.The eel's head would sprout into a coconut tree. The coconut would have the eel's face on it.
