As part of Tongan Language Week, Darius, Eneasi & Vaingalo got the chance to interview Christian Tuipulotu, who played in the Mate Ma’a Tonga rugby league team in 2022. The boys did a great job of using confidence and respect to ask their different questions. They also did well at connecting their interview back to the Tongan culture. Malo aupito Christian for your time. Stay tuned for more of LS1’s Podcast episodes!
For Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga, LS1 had our own Tongan Language Week assembly. We have been busy researching our different topics about the Kingdom and culture of Tonga. Our work was displayed in the hall as we presented to each other, and sang Tongan songs to celebrate Tongan Language Week. A few of our boys came to school in their traditional Tongan attire, to share their expertise with us. It was a wonderful day of celebrating the Tongan culture. We even got to create our own kiekie in the afternoon, after learning about it from Maunaloa, Easton & Eneasi’s research project.
We have included a video of our assembly aswell as the slideshow of our combined research. Enjoy!
