Fun Friday

Last Week on Friday week we celebrated Tongan language and we had cross country and team five did drama and Tokelau dance. We celebrated Tongan language week by watching our Tongan girls and boys dancing and our team five choir singing. We were running for cross country that is how we celebrated but our year seven and eights got to run twice. The last thing we did was the everyday theatre. This was about a boy that always goes out with his friends, Maraea was Tee’s mum Maraea had the skarfe as the actor, Jake was Tee’s friend and Jake had the hat, Dave was Jake's dad he was the beanie  as the actor. We had to try and get the code and I learned that every child has hopes and dreams.

My favourite part of First favourite thing about Friday was watching our year seven and eight Tongan group dance and I enjoyed listening to our year seven and eight sing a different culture song. The second thing that I really enjoyed was the cross country because I attempted  my best and never gave up, I think that never giving up and trying my best was the main thing about cross country. 

I think that I actually enjoyed everything I did on Friday I liked how I tried to understand the everyday theatre. I liked how I asked questions and acted out things to understand and have fun with the game we played, the game is called game master the game was all about trying to figure out the code and the code was Every child has hopes and dreams I think that This is true because every child has hopes about things and dreams about there future. 

A huge THANK YOU And Malo Aupito  to Miss Va'afusuaga for organising our day for cross country and I would also like to give a huge Faafetai Tele Lava and Malo Aupito to Mrs Tele'a  for organising our activity called the game master and thank you for organising the Toklau dance, I would like to give a huge Faafetai,

Ko e faunga hono ma'u'e Tonfa 'a hono hingoā

Our deal should be if you find a hook then name it after me. One day Maui went out to the ocean and took his hook and then he put in into the water and pulled, after he pulled a huge island appeared so then he named it Tonga the guy that gave him the hook. 

Best Day Ever With my FAMILY!!!

 Today I am going to be writing about my best day ever with my family. The best day that I have ever had with my delightful, cheerful,favourite, content, talented family is when it was my cousin's 21th birthday. On Saturday Morning, it was my cousin's 21th Birthday. In the morning she came over to my house and  she thought that we were not going to do anything for her birthday.


First we went to the place where we did her birthday, there were people from her church already there. When we all  arrived we all waited for her to come up the stairs, when she came she was shocked to see us there to celebrate her birthday. My cousin and I went and gave her our present and it was a cute teddy bear and a sign that said Jordana and it was all white she was so delighted.


After that we gave her a 21 birthday key. She was really happy but she was tearful.

Interesting Facts About Tonga

Malo E Lelei today I am going to tell you one interesting fact about Tonga?

Did you know that one of the values are to respect the elders your thinking why?? you should respect the elders because it is the traditional way of Tonga and because that is the values of Tonga. Respecting your elders is important to everyone because elders have great wisdom to impart and you can spend quality with them. Respecting your elders is important to Tongan people it is because this is the important values and because this is the traditional values and it is from the island of Tonga. 

Reading

One of the things that I found so interesting  to keep the traditions alive in the culture Tonga is there traditional songs. As they sing there traditional songs they put there hands out into a gooey, paste and then spread the paste over a sheet of material on the table.



The second thing that I found so interesting  is that it’s a long way from the Kingdom of Tonga, which is about 2,000 kilometres north of New Zealand.

The third thing that I found interesting is that  the group is learning about Tongan culture and how to make ngatu, a cloth made from bark. Ngatu is known as tapa in many Pacific countries like the islands.

The fourth thing that I found so intresting is that Ngatu is made from the bark (tutu) of the paper mulberry tree (hiapo). Making ngatu is called koka‘anga. Ngatu is very important in Tonga. It is used for blankets, mats, clothes – and even kites.

Last of not least the thing that i found interesting is that Over four months, the group has made twenty large pieces of ngatu. Each woman takes a piece home. At home, they plan the design and then paint the ngatu. They might use designs of turtles, fish, birds, and animals. They might include the Tongan flag. Each piece of ngatu tells a story.

Sentence Types

Talofa Lava, Today I had a google meet with Mrs Tele'a for literacy. For writing I am learning how to write a simple, compound and a complex writing. These are the things that you need to do in order for you to have a good sentence type.


1 The words make sense and express a complete thought.


2 It begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, exclamation mark or question mark.


3 It contains a predicate, and a subject. The predicate, or verb tells what the subject, or noun, is doing.


The other thing is how a simple sentence.

The most basic type of sentence is the simple sentence, which contains only one clause. A simple sentence can be as short as one word.


The Compound.

A compound sentence is when you join two sentences together using a conjunction.
The most common conjunctions are; and, although, because, but, if, or, thought, where, whether.
Conjunctions that indicate time are; before, until, since, when, whenever, while.



Last of not least complex sentences and things you need to do.



Complex sentences are made up of one main idea that is supported by
one or more related ideas. The main ideas does not need to come first.
Complex sentences need punctuation, usually commas.

WHERE DOES THE PUNCTUATION GO?

It was a beautiful summer’s day as Alan, with his prize held high, paced towards the pier.
It was a beautiful summer’s day (probably the hottest that year) as Alan paced towards the pier.
It was a beautiful summer’s day as Alan paced -with a bounce in his step- towards the pier.
