Reading Around the Islands!

In class we have been looking at 'our place'.  This week for reading we have been finding out about what other people do at their place!

 

 

In Samoa they build houses out of the natural wood - coconut palms and they have to weave approximately 90 % of the fern fornds in an hour!

 

 

The suns groups read a book about a little boy from Tonga making a broom out of coconut fronds.  It looked different because all of it was brown.  The broom that he already had was too big and too heavy.

 

In Samoa they call pineapple pies paifala. In Tonga they use coconut fronds to make brooms.

 

 I learnt that Samoan people don't have normal houses like us in New Zealand.  They have houses called fales.

 

In Samoa they have leaves for rooves and they have different types of houses called fales.

 

 

Fale's are made out of palm trees and palm leaves.  In Tonga they make palm leaves into brooms.
