WALT: Identify the significance of Ngatu in the Tongan Cultre. Over the pass two weeks our class has been writing about Ngatu - tapa cloths. I enjoyed doing this because I got to learn more about Ngatu - tapa cloths. Next time I will add more information.

Ngatu - Tapa Cloths

Tapa cloths are very important in treasures in Tonga. They are used for many things e.g mats and blankets. Now Tapa cloths are used for special occasions. Each Tapa cloth has a story behind it. While they are make the Tapa cloth they like to sing traditional songs. Depending on how big the Tapa cloth is the process of making the it can take a few hours to a few days.

To make the Tapa cloth they work together. Tapa cloths are made from bark from the mulberry tree. Then it is put in the sun to dry and in water to make it soft. Next they beat it with tool called and ike then it is put into the sun again to dry. Once the bark is dry they will sent it to New Zealand. 

They cover the table with material then put glue onto the material then place the dried bark over top. Then combine them together. Once it is glued together; they roll up the Tapa cloth then take it outside and slowly roll it out onto the ground to let it dry in the sun. Once it is dried they each person gets to take a piece home to plan the design for the Tapa cloth. Then they paint it.

Tapa cloths are decorated with designs that is from the environment. The Tapa cloth is a traditional piece from the Tongan Culture and it is used for many things.

Persuasive Writing

WALT - Write a persuasive text. In our class we have been doing persuasive writing about should cellphones be banned. What I found hard was coming up with ideas. Something I enjoyed was doing the writing. Next time I will add more facts.

Should Cellphones Be Banned

I think cellphones should be banned because it could distract people during class and it could also distract people from their learning as well.

I think cellphones should be banned because it could distract people while they are doing their work and could also distract people while they are  learning. Another reason why cellphones should be banned is because if they are doing a test they could use their cellphones to find out the answers.

Another reason why I think cellphones should be banned is that while they are doing their work cellphones can stop them from finishing their work that they have started. Also

In conclusion I think that cellphone should be banned because it could distract them during learning and they could use them to find out answers during a test.
