Activity 3: Worth her Weight in Gold [6 points]
Dame Valerie Adams (half sister of basketballer, Steven Adams) is a shot put champion from New Zealand (NZ). She has won the World Championships four times as well as both gold and silver medals at the Olympics. Here, in New Zealand, she has won the Halberg Award for New Zealand Sportswoman of the Year seven consecutive times (2006-2012)! She is a bit of a legend both in NZ and in her homeland of Tonga.
Valerie Adams is a proud Tongan New Zealander. You can see her wearing a ta’ovala in the photo. There are many Tongans living in New Zealand - you may be one of them! The Kingdom of Tonga is a group of 169 islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is located between Fiji, Samoa and Niue. Here are some travel tips about Tonga.
Kia Ora Christopher,
ReplyDeleteWell done for creating a travel poster for Tonga. Do you think that more people from New Zealand should visit Tonga? To celebrate the end of Tongan Language Week at my school we had a massive shared lunch. We had lots of yummy food and we had plenty of otai to drink as well! Do you celebrate Tongan Language Week at your school?
