We have been learning about the country of Tonga.
In Room 8 we learnt that they have a traditional dance and art. We also learnt that the tapa cloth is called Ngatu and its patterns are based on nature. Our favourite thing we learned was the lullaby 'Ana Latu', it is a lullaby about two people being in love. Here is the version we learnt.
On Tuesday we celebrated the cultures of the world by coming in traditional dress of our own culture. We started the day with mihi whakatau to welcome the new students to the school. After we showed off our traditional dress in a school parade.
It was so special to celebrate this day.
What do you know about the country of Tonga?
