Last week it was Tongan Language Week so we had a themed Assembly and Mrs Kakoi dressed in some Tongan clothing for the assembly.

| Randy, Mrs Kakoi and Valentino. A Tongan necklace is called a kahoa and the belt worn over the skirt is called kiekie. |
Randy and Valentino represented their culture by speaking in Tongan and by teaching the school a Tongan Song, Malimali Mai:
After assembly the Tongan students and Mrs Kakoi made a special Tongan drink called Otai made from tropical fruits, cream, ice and some sugar. All the students tried the drink and most loved it. Thanks to Valentino and his Mum for sharing their recipe. We couldn't source any watermelon so we substituted with apple, strawberries and rock melon. We also included fresh mango, pineapple, honey dew melon, tinned fruit salad and threaded coconut. ( I will upload some photos of this soon...)
