Tongan cultural day

Last Friday it was Tongan cultural day. Our Tongan teacher Mrs Tukoi gave the whole school a talk on Tongan culture.
She spoke about life in Tonga and what life was like living there.
Tongans like to sing and dance their traditional dancers and sing and drum as well.


They grow their food taro, being their staple food.  They also eat Horse, Fish, Pigs, and dog and they are cooked in a umu a oven in the ground. The Tongan girls from our class danced traditional Tongan dances they were Serena, Mele, and Margaret. Then it was the boys turn to dance and they were singing and clapping the beat.


I really enjoyed the Tongan girls and Tongan boys dancing and clapping.
I learnt more about Tongan culture last Friday.
