Do You Know What Taonga Means?


WALT define and identify our own 'taonga'.

This term for Integrated Learning we are starting to learn about what 'taonga' means. 'Taonga' means something that you treasure or it's like your prized possession, after we read that we had to create a poster that combined all the things that you treasured and that were your 'taonga'.

In my poster I have a Tongan finger print and a New Zealand finger print because I am from Tonga and I was born in New Zealand . I also put a heart because that symbolizes love. Another thing I put is two friends holding hands because friendship is really important to me.

The next thing I put was a family and my family is a family of 8 and I treasure everyone in my family. I also put a USB and a camera because the USB holds all of the videos and pictures that we would take when we were little on the camera so it would be sad if that was lost or destroyed. I also put a cross because that symbolizes my religion. And the last thing is the earth because that's where we live and it would be sad to watch it get destroyed.

I hope you like my poster! What is your Taonga?

  1. Kia ora Siale,
    This is a fantastic poster! I really like the flags as fingerprints. You have described what your taonga is and I feel I have learnt more about you through this. Family is very important to me, too, as it my faith.
    Keep up the fantastic work! Tumeke koe!
