The Legend of Kava Tonga

When I watched the video my heart literally was about to break on how sad it was. I feel extremely sad because they had to sacrifice their own daughter to feed the king! But it was also very shocking on how the king still respected their decision to sacrifice their own daughter.

But I kind of understand because nearly everyone wants to be respectful to their leader like how New Zealanders/Kiwis are respectful to our one and only Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. 

But it's also shocking when they said they were gonna sacrifice their daughter, I wasn’t expecting that at all! I was gonna expect them to sacrifice either the Mom or Dad because they're a lot older and the daughter, Kava has been in the world less years then them. I also feel like the Dad is kind of stupid because he could of found some fish to cook, there's obviously gonna be heaps on fish on a island surrounded by water!

Now I understand the Tongan tradition so I know when I see Kava I have to treat it with  heaps of respect.

In Tongan

Ko e faunga hono ma'u'e Tonfa 'a hono hingoā

One time, a man named Maui who was a legend met this guy named Tongataumatā'u (Tonga the expert fisherman). Maui wanted to grab a hook from him, and chose this old vintage looking hook that has been used very well instead of the flash and good looking ones. Maui wanted to pay him for the hook and Tonga offered a deal to Maui. Maui was curious on what it was, well Tonga asked him if he fishes up a island, name it Tonga.

That's how Tonga got its name!

This book was created by an amazing author named David Riley.

Tapa Cloth

Task description.
This week is Tongan language week so in our maths we're gonna have Tongan related things like a Tapa Cloth. On the second slide we had to figure out the closest answer to the width of the Tapa Cloth. I figured out this answer because each square of the width is 20 cm, so I just had to multiply it by the number of squares. On the third slide it's basically the same thing but instead it's the height and we have to multiply it by 15 cm. The on slide 4, I had to find the strategy that will find the answer for slide 2 and 3. On slide 6 I had to figure out the area of the tapa cloth, I actually did not know what it was so I took a hard guess. On slide 7 we just had to do what the words tells us to do, like shade in the right percent.
And lastly, we had to create our own tapa cloth, I rushed mine since we only had an hour.
