Kia Kaha Te Reo Maori

This Morning Rm 5 Finished off a cool task about the Maori language.  

We had to watch the videos , research it, and write it all down.

Traditional Tongan cooking

Today Rm 5 are finding some interesting things from Tonga (my Home Land )

Tongan people cook their food underneath the ground it's called a (umu) we eat all sorts of food taro,

coconut, horse... , pork , keke (tongan donuts, faikakai, Ufi Lolo i, Lu sipi, Raw fish, Otai ( a drink )

 Umu is mainly like an underground oven that cooks heaps of yummy food.

Tongans use taro leaves, rocks, fire, much to make umus

they wrap the food into taro leaves and tin foil. After they wrap them all up the put the food underneath the

ground and cover it with all the leave. After its cooked they unwrap the food and say the lotu (the prayer)

and then eat it.

Central Easter Learning Journey "Day 6"

Stay safe everybody and stay 2 meters away from others.

 And remember to always wash your hand where ever you go!!!! 

Central Easter Learning Journey "Day 5"

  3 quotes I hear my parents say in locked down was 

- Stay safe 

- Job security

- Supplies/food 

The reason why they said that was because they wanted me and my siblings to stay safe and to take this seriously. I helped my dad buy heaps of supplies and get everything ready. My parents were worried that they might lose there job because of the corona virus and they are worried we might not have any house if they lose it so that why they were talking about Job security. Staying safe is really important because you never know if you catch it or not so that's why you keep safe and stay near your house.
