Did you know violet was just fourteen when she was selected for the team and not surprisingly, she had no idea of what olympics would be like. she was used to being coach by her father and competing in local. But sadly she died in the age of 91 17 december 1996. Can you beleive that she was still on her nineties before she died.

New Zealand Protest

 Malo e lelei My name is Tevini and I am 10 years old. Today I am going to talk about the New Zealand Protests. what we have been learing about is very intresting. Marching and waving is a good way of protesting. in 1975 at 79 years old, whina cooper created a Maori protest called a haikoi which (a walk) copper was a great Maori kuia who founded the Maori woman's welfare league.


The Bastion Point

in 1840 Ngati Whatua iwi gave government, 1,200 hectares to bulid the capital of auckland. The iwi thought they would get their land back but it was no longer needed. sadly by the 1850s, most of the ngati whatua land in auckland has been stolen, well they thought it was been stolen but it was NOT the Maori gave it to them and wanted back the pieces the were not using.

Where do I come from?

Hi my name is Tevini Ahomana I am 9 years old. I was born on March 28th. I come from a very special place to me and my family. But my parents were born in Tonga so that makes me Tongan too. I have 3 brothers but they are in Tonga. My favorite drinks in Tonga are otai. If you don’t know what  otai is, it’s a special fruit drink in Tonga. Sometimes there are dances that have to be done at a birthday, wedding, or a get together.  One time I had to dance for my church, but it wasn't any kind of dance.


It was a Tongan dance which is called the tulafale. I love playing games too. My favorite games is Among Us. When I was little I went to visit my Grandpa in Tonga and I also went with my family. When I was in Tonga I had the best time of my life, the food there was different from here in New Zealand but I still liked it.


In Tonga we eat different kinds of food like pork, lu sipi, lamb and we drank a lot of otai. My Mum and Dad told me and my siblings a lot of stories when they were a little kid like me, they said the school teachers were very strict and if you had got in trouble you would have to get punished and detained. One of the coolest things about Tonga is that we have the best coconuts to drink, the taste of it is amazing and it is juicy. I love being a Tongan and I am very proud.
