FMS Week 6

-
This morning we were playing games with Coach Shannon. Coach Shannon is from FMS and she is helping us to learn how to skip. First we warmed up by practicing how to skip. He had to lift our knees and jump from one foot to the other foot. 
We played Poison, To play this you have to touch people and if you get them they need to put their hands behind their back.
Another game we played was Chain Tag. To play Chain Tag we need to find buddies and tag people. If you get tagged you make a chain till get 4 people and then you split up in 2's to tag others. 
Last, We played Ring-a-ring-a Rosey where we had to make a big circle and we skipped to our singing.

On Thursday after morning tea we went to the hall to do our samoan language booklet and to make Koko Alaisa. Mrs Lolo helped us to make Koko Alaisa in the kitchen. We used rice, coconut cream, koko, lemon leaves and sugar.  First we had to wash the rice. Second, we tipped the water out and then put the pot on the stove.  Third, we cut up the Koko and then Mrs Lolo put some sugar into the pot then she stirred it.  Fourth, we put in the coconut cream and the lemon leaves.   The Koko Alaisa tasted different - Sylvia  The Koko Alaisa tasted like Rice - Nevaeh The Koko Alaisa tasted like cocoa - Taileecia We had to wait for the Koko Alaisa to cool down because it was very hot! When we finished eating out Koko Alaisa we were dancing to Savalivali Maia. We learnt this dance in the classroom and we learnt the girls and boys actions.    Here are some of the students in our class in their traditional clothes we think they look pretty and c

What a privilege it was to be able to show our support of one of the many pacific cultures we have at Rowandale School.  Such a great start to the week with the opening ceremony where we learnt about some of the traditional clothes and practices that the people of Tonga participate in.  We learnt about the Taovala and how there are different mats that are worn to certain occasions. One of the occasions Taovalas would be worn would be to church to show respect for the traditions of their forefathers.   The girls were adorned with dancing Taovalas and Kahoa which are necklaces made out of shells. Their bodies were sparkling and their smiles confirmed the love and pride they had for their culture.  Jessie Ilavalu the only performer from Aroha 6 looking gorgeous   One of the challenges we had was to make a Kiekie or a Fakahaapai to wear to the assembly on Friday. This was our attempt, we used ribbons and tapa cloth for the waste b

I learnt that small things go around big things  (Amelya) The sun is a star (Iziah) It takes 365 days for the Earth to travel around the sun (Nevaeh) The moon is always in the sky (Richard) The parts of the Earth is the North Pole, South Pole and The Equator.
