Tongan Language Week!

Malo E Lelei and greetings to you all. Today was the last day of Tongan Language Week so Julianne and I brought traditional Tongan clothing and head_gear.

The photos show us wearing the Tauvala, Kiekie, Kahoa, Tekiteki  and a Pule Taha. I wore the Pule Taha and Kiekie. A Kiekie is made out of Coconut Husk and Pule Taha is made out of cotton material.

Julianne wore a Tauvala and held up a Tekiteki during our Tongan presentation to all the Ruapotaka classes. The Tekiteki is made out of bark and sticks.

Then Vika, Peni and Tupou wore the same thing, a Tauvala but with different patterns.
Faka'apa apa ke ho mo faiako mo ho family koe ai pe oku tauhi a mou tolu Malo.

Back To School!

The first day of school started for term three everyone seemed so excited to be back to school. The first thing we did to get us started for today was running around the block for ten minutes. After running for ten minutes non stop everyone was extremely exhausted. The next thing we did was rehearse the song we were going to preform in front of the audience which was How Far I'll Go by Alessia Cara. Then we started our maths by reciting our multiplication later on we practiced triple a maths. We sat on the mat trying to figure out the problem, we had to use a strategy called place value. My partner and I were working on a sheet which was all about Fractions. We had our play time, then after play time we did reading and grammar reading was about mussels and spelling was about places. Then It was reading comprehension. Then it was lunch time and everyone were so happy to see their friends. Next was assembly and then home time for everyone.
