The legend of Kava Tonga

Our culture has key practices that teach custom and tradition.

One such practice is the drinking of kava in formal and informal settings.  Have you wondered why kava is so important to the Tongan community?

Today our literacy class spent some time learning about the legend of Kava Tonga.

A very sad story of a couple who sacrificed their daughter, named Kava.  The couple - Fefanga and Fefafa believed that it was necessary to fulfil their obligation and duty to their king.   

I feel that Tonga respects their king and are very loyal to what they believe in.

But, I think it would be amazing if we also did the water activities.

Overall, these three days are really important. It is for us to learn about leadership before we go off to college

Camp

 Last week we went to the Kauaeranga valley christian camp / KVCC. Some of my highlights were the air rifles, paintball, and the obstacle course but most of all the go carting. The reason why I loved the go carts was because I wasn't trying to win but just to have fun by drifting and taking my time instead of going for the best time.

Multiplication Magic

  Multiplication Magic

We are learning to use place value to solve multiplication problems using whole numbers.

Times table practice:

5 x 5 =25                                    7x7=49

4 x 4=16                                     8 x 8=64

3 x 3 =9                                   11x 11=121

6 x 6=36                                     5 x 4=20

9 x 9 =81                                    10 x 10=100

Factors of 16 =8, 2, 1, 16

Multiples of 8 =   8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80

A prime number is 

25 x 25 =625

20 x 25 =500

5 x 25 =125

25 x 245 =6125

200 x 25 =5000

40 x 25 =1000

5 x 25 =125

Safety Rules

Team five you might think that it's not important to follow the rules but think again, read on and you will figure out that reading and paying attention to the rules can be very help full

Rules help everybody to keep safe and if you don't believe me hear is acople examples. Trampolines, if you have ever been at a trampoline park then you would know that all the trampolines get crowded easily and if there are to many people on the trampoline then the results will conclude in injerey

If you still don't believe me then here is another example. If you are at the pools then remember to read the rules on the side or you might find yourself in a sticky situation such as drowning, or when you dive you might hit you head You should always remember to follow the rules no matter the situation. No matter how boring it can get it is all for your safety, all i'm asking is for you to refresh your memory and think again.

This week we were given the task to learn and complete This week we were given the task to learn and complete T.I.I.C which is a writing explanation structure. T, T stands for the title which you will be helping in the story.

I, I stand for introduction which is the start of the story. This part is the hook which is the most important part of your piece of writing because if it is not interesting then there is no reason for the reader to read on.

I, I stand for information for information you have to explain the elements or steps in a logical sequence.

C, C is the conclusion of the story or as I like to call it the glue this is the part of the story that put everything together.

Family Hero

And the award for the family hero goes to my sister Alicia. This week I have been assigned to tell you all about my family hero. There are a lot of nominees which include my brother Carlin, my mum and many more, but the award just had to go to my sister for three reasons.

Reason number 1 - She is the best cook I have ever known, whenever my mum comes back from work she always has a dish prepared on the table, she also makes the best food for special occasions.

Reason number 2 - She is like santa 2.0, she gives away things just out of the kindness of her heart an example of this is on cismas morning she spent all her money on giving the homeless gifts.

Reason number 3 - She is always there when we need her even for the little things such as helping with shopping, helping my mum with anything she needs whenever we need it ,and looking after me and my siblings when my mum is at work.

Dear Mrs Tele'a

Dear Mrs Tele’a,

Kia ora miss Tele’a my name is Freedom, this year I have been put in your class, you always mention
that you love to learn about your students so I decided to introduce myself you might know me from last year but just in case you don't remember hears a quick recap. Hi my name is Freedom I am twelve yearsof age and born in the mouth. I may be a New Zealand resident but also come from the island samoa. I am the fourth generation from my mum's side to live in NZ and my dad's side . I'm pretty sure that they were all born in New Zealand. I am the seventh oldest out of ten my siblings..


Some of my favorite things to do include sleeping after long days out with the family , cooking with my
sister and brother for special occasions, fortnite for when there is nothing else to do , and sports such as
soccer, basketball, rugby and many more. But my favorite thing to do most of all is family game night
witch is usually on fridays nights I love


At school some of my favorite subjects are literacy, math, and P.E. I really like literacy because I love
to write stories, especially fiction stories. I love it when my mind blows up with ideas. P.E is also very fun because I am a very energetic kid and I love it when I get pushed physically.


A good teacher doesn't go easy on kids because if that happens then the kids will never learn their
mistakes,A good teacher supports the kids no matter the situation,but I really like it when my teacher gives me feedback on my work because it gives me inspiration to push myself even harder than usual .
