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.

Tongan Language Week

Today Miss V taught us some words in Tongan and sentences. It was very fun because we got to learn the alphabet, the greetings and we got to talk about yourself in Tongan I enjoyed it and happy Tongan Language Week everyone!

Cross Country

Yesterday we had Cross Country. It was very challenging for me because it was a lot to do. I tried my best and never gave up. Because I knew that I was going to make it, I did  make it to the finish line. When I got to the finish it felt like my brain was going to fall down to my heart. Then my heart dropped down to its normal speed because of me being so exhausted from all that running.

  I was proud of myself because I made it alive. After all the running we went into the hall to do some Zumba. Then they told us the house points and Maungarei was a draw with Te wai o taiki for the top points. I am so proud of my team because we showed Fire & Ace and also the whole school showed Fire & Ace because they finished the run and never gave up. After all, cross country is very tiring and awesome even though some people hate doing it. But it is important because you might be running for a charity or something like that so you have to try everything and never give up.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy Father's Day to every Father in the world for being such good Fathers to their kids!

Rugby Game

Today me and my dad went to my brother's game today at Pukekohe high school well my mum and sister were at church. The game started and my brother intercepted the ball and got a score then he intercepted again and got another score. My family is very proud of my brother because he did well when he was playing. Because he did well my dad brought him some MacDonald's so we went to a park and had a picnic. It was beautiful because the river was clean and there were cute little ducklings. I enjoyed this day and I want to do this again because it was very nice!
