The windmill farmer

There once was a farmer who planted a bunch of windmills by his house. He watered them everyday from spring to summer to autumn. It started to get big through the seasons. It was going to soon be winter so of course it was going to rain. It was getting pretty gloomy and it was gonna rain. The farmer ran outside to check on them but they slowly broke off one by one.

Each one was like tearing a piece of his heart. All the pieces flew off like an airplane crashing. The farmer turned glum. He sadly went inside with his head down then came the snow but something happened during that day. The leftover parts started to grow. It was a miracle.

Out came the farmer, still sad from the tragedy, sighing and went back inside. It was after winter when the farmer took a look outside. He suddenly fell into tears, there were windmills all over the hills. He jumped with excitement and cheered up. All of his sadness was cleared.

My own christmas tree

For starters I would like my tree to be white. I would also like my tree to be glowing all day and night. My tree would have cookies hanging from the tree. This tree could have hands to make cookies and give milk to the visitors. My christmas tree would have Siri installed in it so it can play music whenever we tell it too.

Letter To Santa

Dear Santa Claus

It is almost christmas and I would like to say I have been good at school. I would like a phone when I am older and painting products with a canvas at this age.

On Christmas I like when we get cookies and milk to eat and drink. Thank you santa for all the present these past years. I am looking forward for this year.

Love, Melepalu

Ma'afu and his sons

There was a chief named Ma’afu.He had two sons named Ma’afutoko and Ma’aufulele. Ma’afu’s sons had very bad behaviour. They had always played with their spears and get someone hurt. One day the people got sick of all of their bad behaviour. 

So the people sent them down to a lake called Atavahea where the big duck lived.  But the duck was no match for the brothers. Then they came back with smiles on their faces which the people thought that they were not sorry to their father and the people.

So they sent them to an ocean called Muihetafa where the big triggerfish lived but again the fish was no match for the brothers. They came back with an even bigger smile on their faces. The people still thought that they weren’t sorry so they sent them to live under the stars.

The father sadly sent them to live under the stars.

Tongan Language week

I created a poster using google draw about Tongan Language. I hope you learn something new!

Migration

In class we have been learning about the positives and negatives of migration.

Identity

My family is Tongan.I have 8 brothers and 4 sisters and their names are Saia, Manu, Soane, Kue’a, Viliami, Sia, Luisa, Sifa, Lani, Teaki, Nane and Luci. My mum and dads name is Vikilani and Nolini. In Tonga they eat a lot of fruit and they eat food that make them skinny.

In Tonga how you say thank you in Tonga is malo and how you say I miss you in Tonga is ofa atu. Another word you could say is fefe hake,which means how are you.

A tradition of Tonga is when we do birthdays. When we do birthdays we always blow the candles out then we sing the happy birthday song but that's the only differences between Tongan birthdays and normal birthdays.

At home we speak english but my mum and dad speak Tongan. Sometimes they try so hard to speak tongan and they can but not properly.

Here is a picture of the Tongan flag. I hope you learnt something new about me.

Safety tips for cooking

Room 9 did a poster about safety for when you're in the kitchen. Here are some tips for you to follow. I hope you enjoy and learn something new!

Te Oro Field-trip

Today the senior school went to Te Oro to watch a play called The man whose mother was a pirate.During our short ride to Te Oro we hopped off and went in to the theatre.We waited a little while then finally the performance started. My favourite part was when the cow came out and was shaking its butt on the people who were in the audience and because it was walking like a girl.Some parts were funny, and some were not. This trip was the funniest trip I have ever been on maybe i’ll go there next year.

Thank you Gift a Seat for giving us a free eat  tickets and thank you Te Oro for having us.

In class we have been learning about healthy and unhealthy food. I created a poster using google draw to show what I have learnt.

If I could be a insect

If I could be an insect for one day, what kind would you be and why.

For starters I would be a butterfly because they make me happy and their very colourful.Their one of the prettiest insects ever.I could fly around the world seeing other countries like France,Tonga and Niue.I could even eat nectar like bees except i'm beautiful.Butterflies use their legs for drinking, double awesome.Butterflies can be camouflage, so the predators can’t find them.Moths do that to but again i'm prettier.

If  was camouflage I would trick my butterfly family into thinking i'm gone and scare them when they start crying.

I could annoy people by fluttering in their faces.I could make my own dance like the bees but mine is called flutter flutter in your face.

That's it for this story see you next time.Flutter you later.
