Poi Rakau

Room 12 got introduced to a new game called Poi Rakau. Poi Rakau is game where every person has a long stick and is standing in a circle, if the caller calls out "Whaka te Maui" than means you move left and if the caller calls out " Whaka te Matou" that means you move right. You have to try and get the stick before it hits and ground and make sure you don't push each other and each others stick. It was fun playing Poi Rakau with my class and I hope you try it with your class for Maori Language Week or for fun.

Tonga's Gold Tooth


Due to Tongan Language Week, the whole school had different tasks to complete. One of the tasks that I am sharing on my blog is the " Tonga's Gold Tooth." A lot of Tongans have about 2 - 3 teeth that is half or a quarter filled with golden covers. The story that I shared is not true but if you want to find out the truth behind the golden tooth, ask someone who has one and see if they know about the history or why they got one! I had a lot of fun this week with the Tongan Feed that was provided by the Glen Taylor School family and parents! Happy Tongan Language Week!
