Ngatu (Tapa Cloth)

What is A Ngatu?

A Ngatu is a tapa cloth that is an iconic symbol for hundreds of years in pacifica. A Ngatu is one of the highest signs of respect. The Ngatu is use for swaddling a baby at birth, lines the bed of a wedding couple on their first night and at death it is wrapped around a loved one. The name of the Ngatu being made is Koka’anga

To make a Ngatu, every women in tonga has to work as a crew. A Ngatu (tapa cloth) has to be made very carefully. They womans have to peel the bark off the tree by biting it off or using a knife. Then they hang the bark in the sun to dry. After that they make it ready to put it into the water for the lady to bidding. The stick that they use is called a Ike and the long stick at the bottom is call a Tutua.

They use the Tutua for laying down the Feta’aki so they can beat it with the Ike. They have two piece and they have to combined it so they can start beating again. Each woman has a certain Feta’aki to make for the next gathering. In the school hall all the woman and the girls have to cover the table with material and this will be backing the Ngatu. After they cover the table with backing material, they line up the Feta’aki along the table. Then they past the feta’aki to the backing material.

They put past over the backing material, then they carefully put the feta’aki on top of the backing material. After that they press the two pieces together then roll them up slowly. After they roll it up, they carry it outside so they can lay it down on the concrete for it to dry. There will be a woman who will darken the patterns or drawing them free handed. In the process of making the Ngatu, it could take in the matter of a few hours or a couple of days.

As the young Tongan woman learn about the Ngatu and learn the ways about how to make it. They are learning about the ways how their mother and theirs before them made the Ngatu. Ngatu is one of the most respected gifts in Tongan society but maybe, making a Ngatu is more valuable than the Ngatu it self.

Should Cellphones be Banned at School?

Should Cellphones be Banned at School?

There are a lot of cellphones in the world today and they are being used in high school for research or texting your mates. Some teachers in the world doesn’t like the idea that the students can use their phone while in class so they ban it. I'm going to explain  different types of reasons why cell phones should not be banned.

Firstly, I strongly believe that cell phones shouldn’t be banned because it is really useful when you don’t know what something means. It is also good for researching specific things. If you trying to speak another language, your cell phone can help you pronounce that word or it can teach you what it means.

Secondly, I think that it can be useful in case of an emergency happens in the school. As the emergency happens and the teachers doesn’t know where you are, they can call you. They can also track you with the find my phone app, all you need to do is link your icloud account and it will track any device that has a icloud account in it.

My final reason is that it’s easier to share news and you don't need to write it down on paper. If you plan things with your phone it will be easier to share your plan to others and they can give you feedback without any of you going anywhere. It will also be easier to share things such as: what is going to happen to the school or which class are you going to go next.

In conclusion, if we don’t ban cell phones it will be easier to talk to your friends and it will be less stressful for your learning. So do you agree with me and if so, enjoy your time with your phone.

In class we have been reading this book called "Posted". The book is written by John David Anderson. Every week we have to do these activities to show what we know so far about the book.

This slideshow will be updated every week (some activities will take more than a week).
