Tongan Language Week

 

Tongan Language Week

On Monday there was the speakers, we did the tongan national

anthem, prayer and they told us the phrase of the day.  We did

writing with a Tongan date and I was wearing Tongan clothes.
On last block we went to Koloa Faka Tonga and Mr Pole was

there with Lora and Mrs Vake. At the front there was a entry like

for Tongan houses, it looked like a curtain. Their was Tongan
clothes for both genders.  They taught us how to make Kava
the drink and the things to make a Ta'ovala. Mr Pole told us

that they use the coconut for the cup.

They make the coconut clean to drink out of.  Lora and her

family decorated Rosa house.         

Wednesday

On last block we did Taste of Tonga with Mrs Vake, Lora and the
parents.  Mrs Vake said “ We said for the other classes to eat
less and we left the best for last”. We had Lu Sepi, Coconut
Milk and Cook Banana, Ufi and Otai.  We also have bowls and
forks with knifes, that were plastic. We ate and had seconds
I was in joy and eating. It was so yum. I liked the Otai because
it has fruit and is like juice.  The parents and some of room 14

were helping and had to give us the food.

Friday

Today I was preforming a dance, song and a tongan haka for
everyone.  I felt very cool, happy, exhausted excited for

everyone to cheer.
