Today in Toroa class we were learning about Tonga for the Summer Learning Journey, I designed a Kiekie. First we had to read an artical about Kiekie and watched some cool videos about them too! A Kiekie is a traditional peice of clothing that they wear for semiformal occasions. The story of how they came to be was when they were sailing to meet their king and their previous clothing wasn’t appropriat so they used the material from the sail of the boat to make a Kiekie. The king agreed with the peice of clothing and made it a traditional everday wear. Something I found very challenging was looking for a good design, I wanted my design to look traditional but still have my own patterns. Next time I would make some other patterns. Here is My kiekie!
Have you ever heard of a Kiekie?
