Tongan Language Week Reflection

IALT: Reflect about what I learned in the Tongan Language assemble

Last week was Tongan language week and TPS celebrated Tongan Language week on Thursday. On Thursday we were supposed to have a tournament but it was only the year 5&6 boys who went to the tournament. The year 5,6,7 and 8 girls rippa is next term and the Year 7&8 boys. After we found out our tournament is next term we went back up to class to get ready for Technology. When we came back from Technology Losana and I went and got change into mufti. My mufti outfit was All black and is was Short and a jumper. After getting ready we went outside and went and played with the younger students and they were Kitione and Opeti. Then morning tea finished and we had to go to Miss Aireen because we had assembly and we had to set up so we went down and set up. When we got down their there was already tapa cloths set up on the stage and things that were displayed like a Kiekie. A Kiekie is a type of clothes that you would have to were at a certain age while at church. After setting up everything all the classes came down and we started our assembly. We had presentation's from each class and from my class we presented our Ancestor Poems and the student from my class who presented was Toma,Falakiko, Metui and Akanesi. After all the presenters presented we had performances from the Tongan Group. It was the the little kids that were in the Tongan group and then Lydia and Akanesi then Non Pasifikan Teachers. The Non Pasifikan Teacher probably had a week in practice and did really good. When the teachers went up the boys went up and dance at the back of them.

Then other students came up to the stage then nearly half of the school went on stage and danced. After that it was time for us to go to class and wait for Mrs Kelly to call out all the classes to go to the hall and wait. So they went up to class while the Student Leader stayed in the hall and helped the teachers and parents prepare of the food. So all the student helpers went to Room 4 and had to get all the food and put it in a buffet order and then give out forks and bowls. Then Lunchtime went or for 2 hours and 30 minutes When the bell rang for us to go to class all the student councils stayed and had to clean up. After the clean up we went and picked up rubbish then too the big blue bins to the back. Then we went back to class and it was time for us to pack up the class and do the karakia and then go home.

What I found challenging was picking up rubbish because there were a lot of rubbish but the blue bins were near the hall. What I enjoyed was sitting in the corridor with mates from class because it was fun.

Kiwi Kids New - Underwater Volcano near Tonga

IALT:Reflect on an article based on my Home Country.

According to Kiwi Kids News I have read and article about an Underwater Volcano near my home country Tonga. An underwater Volcano builded near Tonga was named "Submarine Volcano lll" has been erupting for the past week or so. The length of the Volcano is 46km and northwest from Tonga's Capital Nuku'alofa.

The Satellite images that were taken from the Tongan area has said that the underwater Volcano is still going. According to Kiwi Kids News it says that,this far from the first time to the Tonga region by an underwater valcano.

What I found challenging was putting the article into my own words. What I enjoyed about this article was that it was based underwater, because if it was based on land it might of erupted and killed all of Tonga. I think this article is cool news because a valcano is bad and it can kill people.

I hope you like this article Comment Feedback and Feedforward on what I need to work on in my future blogpost
