my recount on tongan language week

On friday it was tongan language week. So the whole kia toa syndicate/room 8 7 6 5 /got changed into a white shirt,a lavalva and the boys had a feather on there head girls had a flower. When we were done changing it was time. so we walked barefoot all the way to the big hall. It started by a prayer said by sofeles dad. Then the new zealand anthem after the tongan anthem. There were a few items then the last was the mauluulu the kia toa syndicate. we walked on the stage and was the last to perform and got in our lines then started performing people came up and gave us money. After we all went back to class to change into our uniforms then went to the feast.

my lesson with filipe tohi

On tuesday me and the whole syndicate were in the hall at lunch waiting for filipe tohi. a famous tongan artist who uses the coconut mesocarp to weave things. he showed us how he made art inspired by his emotions. Like when he showed us this sculpture he made showing he was sad leaving tonga. Then in the lesson he showed us this peace of art he brought with him. He asked if we saw a fish then we did he flipped it upside down and asked if we saw a bird. I didn't but others did. After the lesson we were aloud to ask 5 questions first someone asked about his age he was 60. Then some other questions. At the end we got to touch his artwork then said goodbye and left.
