My treasure is a Samoan bag.  It is red and white.  My Samoan bag is special because my auntie made it for me.

Tapa Making

We are learning about cultural treasures. In Tonga we make tapa as part of our culture. Room 2 spent an afternoon making our own tapa. The pattern we used is called "Manulua". This is an old and well known pattern to all Tongans. 'Manulua' represents two birds' wings together and it means to unite two groups or families together.

My name is my treasure.

 

My name is Mahoney Taula. My mum and my dad got my name from the book of Mormon. I love my name.
