Describing People

In our ESOL group we have been learning how to describe how someone looks.  We have been focussing on describing parts or a person's face (their eyes, hair, nose, skin colour), what the person is wearing and what size they are.

Today we played a barrier game.  Mrs Kakoi hid a finger puppet behind the modelling book so that we couldn't see it.  She then described the puppet's face, what it was wearing and it's size.  As she was describing, we had to draw each part using the colour box app on the ipad.  At the end we got to see the puppet and compared our drawings with it.  We then took a photo of the puppet on the ipad to show the comparison.  

Here is a copy of our drawings:

And here is a photo of the puppet that was described behind the barrier:

A fireman:  He has a brown face with black hair, thin black eyebrows, dark eyes and a bushy black moustache.  He is wearing a long yellow coat which has a red collar.  He has red gumboots on and is holding a black pipe with a silver nozzle.  He is also wearing a red helmet with a yellow badge at the front.

Umu Photo Captions

Our group has been working on talking and writing, including detail so we wrote detailed captions about some of the photos taken when the umu was made.

The pig is ready in the metal mesh to be cooked on the hot steamy rocks.

Amosa and Mr T came to help make the umu.

There was luau, lamb chops, pork, green bananas and taro in the umu.  Yummy!

After the pork had been cooked, they started to slice the pork ready to serve out to the whole school.

Mr and Mrs Kakoi were unwrapping the taro from the umu so they can serve the food.

Celebrate Samoan Language Week

Last week on Friday we had a yummy umu to celebrate Samoan language. We learned all about the Samoan words for the food that was put in the umu.
