Culture's At Glenbrae

On Thursday morning, Glenbrae school had a Culture Walk around. Every class did a different culture. Room 1 did Netherlands, room 2 did Cook Islands, room 4 did Tonga, room 7 did South Africa, room 8 did Iran and room 10 did Niue.

My favourite one was Room 10 because I learnt how to sing the national anthem and food preparation.

Afe, who is on the Board of Trustes, came and answered all our questions. It interested me the way Afe said the Currency is the same as New Zealand Money. He said that Niue is part of NZ and that Niue only has 1 island,not like other Pasific island countries like Tonga,Samoa and Fiji.

Niue really interests me,with the languages too.

My Place In This World

Hi my name is Tame’e.
My Family comes from Tonga, but my Dad comes from Vava’u which is town in another part of Tonga. My Mum comes from the Capital of Tonga, Nuku'alofa.

My Goals are to study Singing and Drama. My idol is my older sister Eseta. She taught me how to sing when I was just 4 years old.

My  strongest interest is singing because my family have been singing all their  lives. My brother and his band, which won Pacifica Beats, made a song for all reggae lovers called Reggae’s My Heart. So I want to be the next step on the family musical tree. I really want to sing and do drama because I want to follow in my parents footsteps. My mum and Dad were always the soloists in the youth group at our church.
Reggae has been in my family since my brother and his band won Pacifica
Beats.
.
Sometimes I sing in church with my family and other young people.
We always have a chance to compete with other youth in singing competitions.
I really want to get in to University to be a Music Teacher to help kids follow their dreams of singing.
