TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK 2015

Malo e lelei. Last week (Week 7), we celebrated Tongan Language Week. We practised greeting each other in Tongan, learnt some basic Tongan words, and created some fabulous art inspired by Tongan Tapa cloth. Tapa cloths are very important in the Tongan culture and are made for a variety of purposes such as weddings, other celebrations, and funerals. Check out our amazing work!
 
We had a real tapa cloth as an example
 

 
Peta used the internet to research different examples
 
 
 




 
 








 
 
Peta, along with our Pasifika Group, performed at the Library, Glen Warren Kindergarten, Little Wonders, and our school assembly. A talented bunch indeed!
 
Malie- good job everyone.
