Culture Groups!

Every Friday everyone from years 5 - 8 go to their culture groups to practice their traditional dances. There are four groups and they are Tonga, Samoa, Maori and Cook Island. I'm in the Tongan group.

We are doing two dances. One is called the Sipi Tau. The Sipi Tau is the rugby league haka for The Mate Maa Tonga Rugby League Team.
The other dance is Kailao. The Kailao is a warrior stick dance that tells what happened in World War II. My favorite dance is the Kailao because it shows how strong and fierce we are.

Tonga!

In the Holidays I went to Tonga with my nana to visit her family. She wanted to visit her brother who passed away in 2017. In Tonga we slept over her sisters house with her sons and her daughters. I hung out with my cousin. He is 14 years old and I'm taller than him. We have a lot in common such as gaming and singing (well I like to listen to songs and him singing) and we also hang out with my uncles' son who is my nana's brothers' son. We liked to go to the shop to buy credit so we can buy data for the phone to watch YouTube videos and play games.

When my nana's family arrived we all went to the graveyard to visit her dead brother. After that we went back home and just talked and played games.

And that was what I did in Tonga.
