Tongan Language Week

 This week we celebrated Tongan Language Week.  Each morning we learned some new words and greetings and listened to some songs. Some of the songs help us to remember how to say a greeting or how to say the days of the week.

Malo e lelei  = hello

Toki sio = goodbye

Malo = thank you

Four of our Tongan boys decided to wear their formal Tongan costumes. They looked so handsome! They shared with us the names of each piece of clothing and where/when they would wear them. Then we had a Kahoot about tongan language and culture. No surprises but they came 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

For lunch they brought in a special treat, traditional tongan food. They ate Lu sipi, Kumala, Keke site and Fusi. Here are some photos of our Tongan students.
