Term 3 reflection

This term was very fun we did many things, had amazing events, we have learnt and experienced a lot.

The first event we had was Tongan language week, it was a massive celebration. We had a big feast, when we performed (room 6, room 7, room 5 and room 8) we did great and proud. Next, was the Maori language week. We didn’t do much except the Kapa Haka group. They performed well. After that we had a big bike day event it was about us getting new bikes, they were very cool bikes. When were there we had some activities for us to do, they were riding the bikes obviously, making badges, eating cookies and drinking milo and eating SAUSAGES!!!

I also have learnt a lot, I’ve learnt how to write recounts, asking critical questions and multiplying percentages. The things that I have been struggling on is comprehension in reading and expression formulas in math. I have set goals for me, they are Learning formulas, using more similes, metaphors and personification and asking myself more critical questions.

Next term I will be trying to achieve all my goals by doing my best and never give up.

Bad Guys

                                  

Today I reed a book called Bad Guys it was episode 8. The author's name was Aaron Blabey. My favorite chapter was Be a Teacup it was my favorite because it was funny, it was funny because when the shark has to shapeshift into a tea cup he shapeshifted into a tractor, a moose and a clock. I hope you enjoyed my reading my favorite part of the book and hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I do.

Tongan Language Week

Tongan Language Week Assembly

                                                        Tongan Language Week Assembly
 
On the 5th of september 2019 the whole school had a tongan language assemble for the togan language week celebration the kiatoa syndicate (room 5, room 6,  room7 and room 8) did a Ma'ulu'ulu. It started at 11:30 but we went early (11:00).

Before we went inside the hall, we had to get ready by getting in line for our Ma'ulu'ulu (a togan dance). There we about 14 people in each line and there were 5 lines, i was in the 3rd line. it was super cold because it was raining and we were not wearing shoes so my feet was sour and could. When we got inside the hall, my brother came and told me to go to my mum and dad to put on costume it was cauld a tupenu I had a headpiece called a teiki.




After I get dressed I ran back to my seat, we had a lot of visitors one of the visitors came up and told us how lucky samoan people and togan people are she said they were lucky because a lot of the kids can talk in those 2 languages. After that the little kids sang the togan alphabet there were fantastic, then pauliasi sang then room 9 boys did a togan dance. Then it was the great togan group.

Then finally it was us the kiatoa syndicate we did great when it was done we had to stay on the sage until everybody left, while I was dancing my auntie gave me 5 dollars. After that I went to my mum and dad and gave them my close then went back to class. When we got to class the office called us we had to go to the hall.

Thank you for reading my work.

In this writing I will be talking about  Filipe Tohi and his artwork . I am also  going to find out who he is, where he’s from, where he has travelled and how he connects other cultures to his artwork.

Filipe is a Tongan artist born in Ngele‘ia, Nuku‘alofa, August 23 1959.  He is an artist who had lived in New Zealand  since 1978.  And did you know the people from the art and Asia pacific they  describe Filipe as him as Tongan arts formost ambassador.

Filipe Tohi is a wonderful man that has travelled around the world such as the pacific island Tonga, Samoa and New Zealand. The main reason why Filipe Tohi traveled in the islands is to Inspire young people and also gets great ideas and new patterns.
During FIlipe’s travels to the pacific islands, Filipe gets ideas and then put them into art. And did you in each art they are hidden patterns such fish and birds and other animals.
