Five Facts) Uike Lea Faka-Tonga

Task Description: This week in room 10 we have been learning all about Tongan language. For this task we usually call it four facts but for this week we are doing five facts, maybe not that hard. The first thing we had to do was to watch a video that was explaining all about Tonga or interesting facts about Tonga. While I was watching the video half way I was wanting to watch my own video so here is the video I watched – ”Tongan Tips . I thought that this video was great to use because there were good tips to use before you go to Tonga. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you.

Create Task T3W8

Task Description: This week in room 10 we have been learning all about Tongan culture because it’s ”Tongan Language week”. For this task we had to learn how to count in Tongan and learn shapes as well as colours. While I was doing this ask I thought that it was going to be very hard for me but, as I tried my best to learn it I realised that I already knew how to count, and the shapes, with also colours in Tongan.

”How Tonga got it’s name”

Once upon a time there was a young man named Maui, who was a pasifika superhero that loved to travel all around the islands. One day Maui travelled to Manu’a Samoa to discover islands around him. Until Maui found an elderly man called Tonga selling hooks for people to use. When Maui went over to see, Maui asked if he had any strong hooks to use, but the man showed Maui his massive  collection of hooks. While the man was explaining what his hooks were called, Maui walked to another hook that had sketches,spider webs, nicks with even dead leaves. After Maui took his hook Maui said to the elder man that if Maui finds an island he will call it Tonga, so he went to sail along the ocean. Then stopped and started to throw his hook into the ocean and felt something heavy and couldn’t bring it back up, Maui thought that it could maybe be an octopus but even bigger it wasn’t a whale it was even bigger. That’s when an island came up and Maui looked at it and remembered that Maui promised that he will call the island, ‘’Tonga’’.
