Malo e lelei!!

Welcome everyone to Tongan Language Week!!

We've had such a fantastic start to Tongan Language Week! Mele Kautoke, which is Filomena's mum came in today to tell us a bit about Tonga!

Mele told us about what it is like to live in Tonga, how different the weather is in Tonga and she also bought us some Faikakai to eat! 

Speech Competition

Yesterday we had our school Speech Competition! All the finalists did an amazing job!

We loved listening to all their speeches. 

A big congratulations to Lucia, who came 2nd in the Year 1 category and Ella who came 3rd equal in the Year 1 category!
 We are very proud of these two and all the other winners!

Grandparents

We LOVE our grandparents very much!! This week at school we had our annual Grandparents Mass, where we celebrated our wonderful grandparents.

In class we talked about why our grandparents were special to us and then we wrote stories about them and illustrated it.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn is such a wonderful season because leaves start to fall from trees and the leaves start to change colour!

In Room 1, we talked about this season and wrote some stories about Autumn Leaves. We love the sounds the leaves make when they are dry and ready to be crunched under our feet!

Here are our Autumn Leaves stories
