Tongan Language Week Reflection

Because I was not here for Monday and Tuesday I can't tell you what happened on those days but because I was here from Wednesday till Friday.

The thing I remember the most on Wednesday was that we did a slide with basic phrases and sentences, some of those phrases and sentences are Malo e lelei (Hello/Hi), Fefe Haka (How are you?), Sai pe malo (Good thanks).

Here is the slide that I have completed -

On Thursday we did our usual Thursday routine which is going to Tamaki College for Technology,  so nothing related to Tongan Language week happened on Thursday.

Friday was the best day because this is when the Tongan group had done all there preformances, I really enjoyed this day because it was very entertaining, everybody was happy and everyone was happy to join in especially all the family that came.

On this day we first just had a normal first block where we just did normal learning things like our film script reading, but after morning tea we had our Tongan assembly where a lot of family, friends and others joined us to celebrate this fun and amazing week. But the best part was getting to watch the performances, watch the mums and family sing and EATING!

We ate many traditional and local Tongan food like pork, Tongan donuts and the very good and delicious Otai. Otai is a traditional Tongan drink which is usually drunk with big meals and gatherings, Otai contain coconut cream, fruits like watermelons, mangos and pineapples.
