Vaiaso te Gana Tuvalu

Introduction

Talofa everyone, this week is Tuvalu Language Week ! As we are still in Level 3 lockdown we can still do online learning, and our focus this week is Tuvalu Language. So to celebrate Tuvalu Language Week I'll be posting about the amazing tasks focusing on Tuvalu that our Team 5 teachers set for us. 

 This year's theme for Vaiaso te Gana Tuvalu ( Tuvalu Language Week ) is 'Fakaakoigina tou iloga kae tukeli ke magoi mote ataeao'. In English this translates 'Embracing our culture and a more secure, vibrant future'. The theme highlights the importance role language and cultures has when securing a vibrant future for Tuvaluans across Aotearoa. It enourages language and culture to be embraced to build strong foundations of perseverance, success, and healthy equilty.
