Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific ocean known for its beauty. Most Samoans grow and catch their own food using traditional methods like fishing and cooking in an underground oven, as supermarkets are scarce. Samoan culture is expressed through beautiful artwork featuring dark colors and patterns, and through traditional dances like the slap dance, clap dance, and fire dance. Daily life in Samoa involves building stick-and-leaf houses called fales, and children attend school to learn subjects like math, social sciences, and English, even while living on islands.

The Samoans value family and community. They live in extended family households called aiga, headed by a matai, who provides leadership. Families work cooperatively, with husbands and wives sharing responsibilities and children helping with chores. Villagers also work as a cooperative unit on agricultural tasks. While Samoans now practice Christianity, they traditionally believed in Tagaloa gods and invoked them during ceremonies and meals. Margaret Mead's influential early work studying Samoan adolescents was later challenged by Derek Freeman, sparking debate about the accuracy of her findings and methodology.

Mini beasts
Mini beasts, or invertebrates, are animals without backbones or internal skeletons. They make up the most numerous type of animal in the world, with over 25,000 species found in Britain alone. Unlike vertebrates which have backbones, invertebrates have soft, bendy bodies and many have hard shells or exoskeletons covering their bodies to provide protection. Examples given are insects and spiders, which have thin, strong exoskeletons that allow them to move more quickly than other mini beasts.

On October 28, 2015, a group of scientists from Otago University's Department of Physics observed the last sunset of the year in Antarctica to research why Antarctic ice is growing while Arctic ice is shrinking. They believe supercooled water below the ice keeps it cold and allows it to grow, reaching record heights over the past three years. The scientists are using heated water to melt through the ice and take measurements with 16 instruments in order to understand why the ice is thickening instead of thinning with global warming.

Staff at Auckland Zoo were excited to witness the hatching of two North island brown kiwi chicks from four eggs they received, though sadly one egg did not hatch successfully. The mother of one chick and another living chick were part of the zoo's Nest Egg Bird programme. Kiwis progress through four stages at the zoo - egg, caretaking, breeding, and enclosure - and while still developing, the hatched chicks were pink with long feathers. In the wild, kiwi eggs face many predators, so the zoo provides protection for the endangered birds.

Tonga offers many attractions for visitors including its royal cemetery. The culture of Tonga has evolved over 3000 years of inhabitation, with the local people originally speaking Tongan and having frequent contact with neighboring islands. Traditional Tongan cuisine focuses on staples like taro, yams, bananas and coconut, along with raw shellfish, though Western influence has introduced new foods. In pre-contact times, Tongan women's roles centered around childrearing, gathering shellfish, and weaving barkcloth and mats that were important for cultural exchanges. The document encourages the reader to visit Tonga to experience its attractions and culture firsthand.
Tonga
Tonga has over 176 beaches ranging from private to crowded that are perfect for swimming, sunsets, and families. Visitors can also swim with whales from July to October by going diving in coral reefs and caves with colorful sea life. The culture features intricate dancing and arts like carving and basketry. A variety of seafood and island dishes can be enjoyed, including sea snails, fish, lobster and octopus freshly caught from the clear waters.
samoan food
Samoans commonly eat banana leaves and taro that are cooked in traditional methods. Banana leaves are fried in pans over fires and eaten mostly for breakfast. Taro, a root vegetable, is cooked in umu, which are earth ovens that use pits in the ground to trap heat and steam foods. Umu are one of the simplest and most ancient cooking structures and have been used widely in past cultures.
Samoan food
Samoan cuisine features dishes like green bananas with coconut cream, beef with vermicelli noodles, and coconut cream with fish. Common alternate foods include canned corned beef and fish. Special foods center around whole fish, chicken, or pig that are cooked for celebrations or gatherings.
Samoa animals
There are several unique animal species found in Samoa that cannot be found elsewhere. These include the Flying Fox bat, which lives in Samoa, Fiji and American Samoa and weighs around 450 grams with a 0.86 meter wingspan, feeding on fruit, leaves and nectar. The Frasers Dolphin grows to 2.75 meters and 200 kg as an adult after being born at 1 meter and 20 kg, with small flippers and fins relative to its body and diet of fish, shrimp and squid. Mesophlodont whales reach 3.9-6.2 meters, have a small dorsal fin and narrow flippers, and feed solely on squids while also being bitten by cookiecut
Samoan culture
The document discusses Samoan culture, highlighting several key aspects including traditional art forms. One such art form is tapa cloth, also known as siapo, which is made from bark and decorated using techniques like rubbing, stamping, and dyeing. Tapa cloth features patterns like triangles, flowers, and squares and is unique to Samoa as well as other Pacific islands like Fiji, Tonga, and Hawaii. The document concludes with photos of tapa cloth examples.
Ww1 map of gallipoli
The Battle of Gallipoli was a World War I campaign fought on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey between Allied forces from Britain, France, and their dominions against the Ottoman Empire. Intending to secure a sea route to Russia, the Allies launched a naval attack followed by amphibious landings, but the naval attack was repelled and the eight-month land campaign ended in heavy casualties on both sides, forcing the Allies to withdraw. The failed Gallipoli campaign is commemorated annually in Australia and New Zealand on April 25th and was an important event in developing a sense of national identity in those countries.
Bees
This document provides facts about bees, including honey bees, worker bees, and queen bees. It discusses how honey bees have long provided humans with honey and wax from their hives. Worker bees make hives to store food throughout the winter. The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive and her pheromone output diminishes as she ages. The document concludes by thanking the viewer for learning about how bees build their hives and find food.
Bee project
A beehive can contain around 366 honeycombs. Each honeycomb holds approximately 50 millilitres of honey and measures 0.9 centimetres long. Bees obtain 0.2 millilitres of nectar from each flower they visit. Knowing the number of honeycombs per hive helps determine how much honey the hive produces.
Bee predators
Bees have developed defenses against their natural predators like hornets, wasps, and birds. Against hornets and wasps, bees swarm the attackers and raise their body heat to over 117 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively cooking the intruders alive. When faced with birds, bees are vulnerable during takeoff and landing, so birds swoop in to catch bees in mid-air for food. While seen as sweet, birds also kill bees and other insects.
