Tongan Language Week 2016

TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK 2016

September 5th - 9th 2016 marked the celebration of TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK in New Zealand. The theme for this year is 'Fakakoloa 'a Aotearoa 'aki 'a e Loto'i Tonga'.

In the duration of a week, Room 14 learnt close to 50 new Tongan phrases, including the Tongan Alphabet and a Hiva Faka-Tonga. To finish the week off, Room 13 joined us to make 'Otai (a Tongan summer beverage). This beverage was made using pineapple, mango, coconut, milk, water and a little bit of sugar.


Here is a video of students singing 'Oku 'ofa 'a e 'Otua 'iate au'.
