Explanation Writing - Tongan Language Week !!!
The country of tonga and its culture
Malo e lelei and greetings to you all ! It's Tongan Language week !!. Today I'll be writing a brief explanation of the friendly islands of Tonga. Enjoy !
What is Tonga most known for ?
Tonga is the only Monarchy (Form of Government) in the pacific, and is the only country that has never completely lost its indigenous governance.
Did you know Tonga has up to 170 islands and 36 are inhabited, out of all of those islands Tongatapu is the biggest, followed by ‘Eua, Niuatoputapu, Niuafo’ou, Kao and Pangaimotu. Tongatapu is the main island of Tonga, in 2016 Tonga had the population of 100,651 and 70% resided on the main island, Tongatapu. Right now, 2021, the population of tonga is 107,098.
Tongas largest and capital city is Nuku’alofa it is located on the north-coast of the island of Tongatapu. In the northwest of the capital, landmarks the Royal Palace (home of the Tongan Royal Family).
Overall Tonga is a beautiful place to go to (after lockdown). Hopefully my brief explanation writing has left you with some interesting facts rounded up in your head. Malo ‘aupito !
Happy Tongan Language week !!

Immersion Assembly
Today was the first day of Term 3, as always, we start the day off with an assembly, and all the teachers can either make a movie, or perform an act, to explain what their team will be working on this term. The korero for this term is 'Healthy me, healthy you',
Every team made a movie, besides team 5, and out of all the performances my favourite movie or act, was presented by Team 4. Their movie was all about fitness, and why it can help you in your future. In one part of their movie, they made a scene from when they had a 'class reunion' in the the future year of 2041, and they all had a successful life, thanks to all the fitness they learnt and had done.
This term, Team 5 are learning about 'Whare Tapa Wha', which is all about our Mental, Physical, Spiritual, and Social/Family, well-beings.

KPMG : (Extension)
On the 23rd of June, the Extension group went to KPMG. KPMG is an every year thing, that the year 7&8 Extension group goes to. Last year we went there during christmas, and made christmas like things, like cards, and painted some hard stone things. This year we went there to learn about space, well....because this terms Korero is 'Watch this Space'. When we got there, we got split into 4 teams of 7, Earth, Fire, Air, and Water, I was in 'Team Earth' with, Oalii, Nina, Bradley, Jane, Zoe, and Sauma, and our 2 adult helpers were, Christine, and Elliot. they were really helpful. It was very fun, my favourite part of the day was the food, and the science experiment that we did, all teams had different experiments, our experiment was to make oobleck without any measurements, we just had to figure it out ourselves, and it all worked out, all of our Experiments worked!. The word of the Experiment was Non Newtonian Fluid not solid or liquid. We also did a quiz at the end of the day, and MY group 'Earth' one by half a point (As Expected), the second place team scored 18, and 'Earth' got 18.5, cool right!!, because we won we got to take home some Space Packages, with some pens, a notebook, some stickers, and a chocolate. We had a very fun time!. Thank you KPMG people!

Why does Matter, Matter?
The three basic properties of matters are Volume, Mass, and Shape
All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms
Volume is the amount of Space that matter takes up
Mass is the amount of matter an object has
Liquid takes the shape of their Container
Gas do not have a definite shape of volume
Liquid do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume
Solid have a definite shape and volume
A Ice and Chair are examples of solids
Milk and Juice are examples of liquids.
Helium and Oxygen are examples of gas
Solid ice is melting when it's changing into a liquid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This morning we did some science on Matter. Volume, Mass, and Shape, it all leads up to Solid, Gas, and Liquid. Solid: The atoms in a solid are packed closely together they bond together and not change shape. Liquid: The atoms in a liquid are close together, they slide around. Gas: The atoms in a gas are spread out and move freely.

Pyramids of Egypt
Egyptian Pyramids. Pyramids were first built in 2780 B.C. Did you know that Pyramids were actually built for specific things, they also include lots of important stories behind them, one story is when a king/father decided to build 1 big pyramid for him to be buried in, then built another pyramid for his wives to be buried in, cool right! (I guess). if you'd like to know more, read the rest!:)
As you probably know, pyramids were built as a burial place and monuments for the Pharaohs who pass on, along with things they need. Before pyramids were built, people were buried in the desert, and would be dug up by wild animals passing by.
Did you know there are more than 100 pyramids on this Earth. They all contain treasures, and dead people, most of things in there are really valuable, that people try to break in. As you see in movies, there are always Traps to make sure people don't pass through to the treasure, well....that's true!.
Mastaba!, mastaba is a Rectangular Egyptian tomb, built of mud brick or, later, stone, with sloping walls and a flat roof. It also took 10-20 years to build the Pyramid of Giza.
Anyways....Hope yous learnt something important about the Egyptian pyramids, and actually caught on to some important facts about specific things.
Please comment down below, if you have any questions.

Fiafia 2021
Last night we had Fiafia, it's when our school goes into cultural groups and does a performance for the families that come and watch. The group I was in was the Senior Samoan group, when we went to perform everyone cheered for us joyfully. My favourite group was the Junior Hip group, along with the Tongan Girls, they were both so amazing because, both groups looked really interested in what they were doing,and tried so hard to make everyone proud, anyways, most of all it was very fun, and am pretty sure everybody enjoyed it as well.

My Leadership Goals.
WALT: Show leadership towards other people
Camp Reflection
Last week, from Wednesday to Friday, the beautiful yr 8’s went to camp, well the yr 7’s stayed behind and did a step up programme, because next year they will be the next yr 8’s. At camp, I was the leader of Team Green/Kauaeranga with Teingoa. For the activities we had to go in 2 groups, Kauaeranga A and Kauaeranga B, Team A was the girls and Team B was the boys.
When we got there we did some fun team work activities that had to include everyone, along with all the teams. By the look on everyone's faces, everybody enjoyed it. We played a game that was sort of like Rippa rugby, but in the end we had to count all the tags we ripped off the other teams. That was probably one of my favourite activities.
Another activity I enjoyed was Go-Karts with Mr J. I could tell my team really enjoyed it, because we all had more than 1 and 2 turns going around twice. Although some people in my team didn’t wanna have a go, they did it anyway and really enjoyed it. They wanted to go again and again, weird but cool right!?.
Lastly we had a camp concert, and had a very awesome Polynesian night, where we got to dress in anything poly related, like have a lavalava, a lei, or a sei. After that we had to get dressed in proper clothes to perform our items in. Our item ws really cool, we did an entrance of ‘Leave the door open’ by Bruno mars, the other teams did things like. The three little pigs, dancing, singing, and more. It was really fun!.
Most of all, my team really had good participation and communication skills toward each other, we really got along well, and had an amazing time at camp. Sadly, it is over. But anyways, we at least got to talk about all the fun times we had. Hope we get to go to a camp like that again, but definitely know it won’t be as fun as this one!.
