In the morning, we burnt last year's palms so Father Keane can do a cross on our forehead in Mass tomorrow so it can remind us to always follow Jesus.
After swimming, some ladies came into our class to talk about Tonga. One lady was from Caritas Tonga and the other lady was from Caritas NZ.
The lady from Tonga was called Olivina and she told us lots of interesting things. She told us they chopped mulberry trees in half and then they skinned them. They also dried them, soaked them overnight then, in the morning, they beat them with wooden clubs. After a while, they made them into table cloths and carpets.
Olivina also told us that people raised pigs and they could sell them for money or kill them for food so that they could buy books, pay school fees and buy school uniforms.
