The Kingdom of Tonga
Mālō e lelei
This week is tonga language week.
Here are some cool things about tonga.
Tonga is located in the south pacific ocean
with islands around it. If you go on google maps
you will see Cook Island, Niue, Fiji, and Samoa
and one thing they all have in common is the
beautiful beaches.
Tonga also has a national Rugby League team
and the name of that team is Mate Ma’a Tonga
or for short (mmt).Tonga’s rugby league team
has a lot of good players and even some players
I like.
One of their player's name is Jason Taumalolo;
he is also the captain of the rugby league team.
He is one of the best rugby players in NRL And
he has inspired a lot of kids in the south pacific
,here in New Zealand and Australia.
I was doing some research and I found out that
another name for tonga is called the friendly is
lands. People call tonga friendly islands because
many years ago tonga were given the name of
friendly islands Because of their welcoming of
tourists.
When the tourists go to tonga they want to see
tonga people spear fishing in the water,they
want to do whale watching,and enjoy the
beautiful landscape of tonga.
Also their first ever king was called
George Tupou I and his last name still goes on
to this day because the king of tonga right now
is called tupou VI.
I hope you gain an understanding about the
kingdom of tonga māvae maʻu ha ʻaho lelei.
