Today Room 9 made Otai, Faikakai and Tokutu for Tongan language week, we were suppose to do it last week but my teacher was not in class so we decided to make it this week.
We separated into 2 groups I was in group 1 and we made Otai and group 2 made Faikakai, my favorite part when we were making the Otai is when me and Kisina were tipping the ingredients into the tin where the Otai was going to be.
I went over to go and see how the Faikakai cooking was an it was awesome because they cooked it nicely and very well and Thank you to Sana for helping the boys, when they finish cooking the Faikakai it looked very nice and delicious.
We finished making Otai and Faikakai Room 9 went back to class but some people including me stayed back to help Sana and Miss V.
Well we were in the kitchen me and Sar Yar Chan made some Tokutu with Miss V so I did the folding and Sar Yar Chan was spooning the batter on to the foil, we finished doing the Tokutu so we slid it to the oven.
Then the Ben K and Tj were making caramel with Miss V, so they add sugar to a pot or a cooking element and they cooked sugar until it turned into caramel.
The people that were helping Miss V and Sana tried the Faikakai, it was very nice because it is nice when we ate it with the caramel sauce.
The whole class came down and we did the opening of our Tongan Shop everybody ate it they loved it and they loved how we ate the Otai with ice cream and crackers.
I enjoyed cooking Otai, Faikakai and Tokutu because it was very fun Thank you to our professional cooker Sana for helping us cook the Faikakai and getting her pots and stuff for us to use, Thank you to Miss V for buying these ingredients just for Room 9 to make Tongan food I had so much fun with you well we were spending time in the kitchen and lucky last Thank you to our wonderful Teacher Mrs Faalili for organizing this for us hope all of us had fun eating the Tongan Food hope all the teachers and classes that tastes the food enjoyed it!

Tongan Treasures
Today we learnt about some Tongan treasures that Miss V brought for us to learn about and why they wear or use the treasures. First she showed us about a Kava Bowl which is called a Kumete so they use the Kumete for a pacific drink that is made out of a root of a tree called the Kava Tree. Their is a story about a King that lands on a island while they are going fishing, they went on the island because the king was very hungry the king was resting well the family were trying to find something for them to eat but on the island there is no animals or anything so they only eat yam. They were going to find the yam but the king was sitting on the yam tree so he had nothing to eat so they had a talk the husband an wife that they are going to sacrifice their daughter for the king to eat so when the daughter went to go and hug the dad he chocked her so she passed away. They told the king but the king said that it is alright but I thank you guys for caring about me, so the dad buried the daughter then a kava tree started to grow where her head was and a sugarcane plant started to grow where her feet was and that is why kava is important to the Tongan culture.

Today in the morning we had a professional trainer that came in to our school and trained Room 9 so we can get fit, healthy and strong. I enjoyed it and my favorite exercise was when we were play in and out because it reminds me of in the river and in the bank. I was struggling on the push ups and the squats and now I am strict with my health right now because I want to be more healthy with what I eat. And thank you Alesio for coming in and training us hope we will see you again!
