White Sunday on Sunday
On Sunday my church had White Sunday,this is really important to the Tongans. I was really looking forward to this because I am reading a hymn so that will be really nerve-raking,I am reading with my little niece, after that the little kids said there little verses,it sound so cute how they said it.All the kids were waiting till it finished cause they were all hungry. our whole church was going to eat at Valentines.So we were lucky,I CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEARS WHITE SUNDAY.

Apitanga
In the Easter holidays lots of family's from my church slept at church, because we had this thing in Tongan called Apitanga. Everyone was so excited In Tongan tradition this is really important for us. Because how God died for our sins, Every night we heard the cookers downstairs the boys sleeps downstairs,and us girls sleeps upstairs. We would eat at the middle of the night and talk and laugh.I think our parents did not appreciate it.So we all kept the volume down.In the next morning we would wake up at 6:00 in the morning.We would have teams I was with the priest the little kids had sports outside ,so they were really LUCKY. We would talk about lots of staff.All the kids couldn't wait till Breakfast started. On Sunday night we had this thing.We had to pick a Judge,if you missed out in any program or did other bad things you did you will get a fine. Before Apitanga people already picked the polices, a girls one and a boys one. My auntie was the judge,she will ask why did they do that thing they got,fine for. She will still fine them she'll talk like it will be a small bill but its like $100 and over but likely the kids didn't get fine. Last year 3 kids got fine. So that was funny how the adults got fine. The money was given all to the priest,cause he just came from Tonga. I REALLY ENJOY APITANGA CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEARS

Immersion Assembley
When I walked in class I saw Mrs Nua wearing a funny and weird costume. I finally remember that it was Immersion Assembly every term when we come back from the holidays,there is always an Assembly that the teachers have to dress up as the topic that we are going to learn this term.We are learning about Volcanoes. Mrs Nua was Lady Lava she changed the name Lady Gaga into Lady Lava, so that was funny and cool,There were different acts like a Quiz show and other cool staff.
I cant wait till next term to see what fun staff we will be learning about . I Would like to learn about Celebrates and Famous people all around the world.
