Thoughts from our Hangi






A wonderful experience had by the kids in Room 4, watching, smelling, listening, hearing and tasting the Hangi recently held at the school. Please enjoy some of the children’s thoughts as they wrote about their own experiences.





We heard the wood going crackle and crickle. It was funny listening to the sounds and then after a while the wood started to fall and fall and then some of the wood went down into the big hole with a CRASH!

Blake





I heard the fire burning and CRACKLING and POPPING

Israel

I saw smoke floating in the air. The smoke got in the people’s eyes and I saw logs crashing on the ground and when the logs got to the ground the rocks go down.
I smelt smoke everywhere and I smelt fire. I smelt wood burning. It smelt stinky!
When the logs fell it went CRASH ! BANG! And down the logs go and the little bits of logs went SNAP! CRACK!

Max



I saw the fire’s huge flames. I smelt the grey smoke from the fire.I heard the fire POP!
I liked the Hangi because it was YUM!

Shanelle


The Hangi is hot and it made my throat sore.
I saw smoke and I saw a lot of food and I saw the men.I smelt the smoke. My ears heard the CRACKLING from the wood.

Riley

The smoke started going up in the air and SWISHED around.
I smelt smoke and it was stinky. I heard the CRACKLING of the wood

Jakob


I saw the six logs falling in the hole. I smelt smoke because it was YUCK! I heard the the fire burning and the flames were making a FIZZING sound.

Cole


I saw smoke going out of the Hangi. The food was cooking in the Hangi. I smelt YUCKY smoke. The smoke was coming out of the ground dirt. I heard CRASHING and CLICKING coming out of the Hangi fire.I felt hot. My eyes were watery! I was very hot! I got very very hot. I was burning!

Brianna


The Hangi was very hot in your face. The fire got hotter and hotter and then a very loud noise CRACKED! I saw the wood cracked down into the hole. I smelt the smoke coming to me and all of the other kids too. I heard popping and popping and POP! My hands were hot and my face was hot too.

Ryan

The logs were criss cross like weaving, the logs were black, the logs were falling into parts. The Hangi was covered with sand. The smoke was stinky and bad. It was yuck smoke and it looks like a burnt home. My ears heard a BOOM and another BOOM!
My hand were excited to eat the Hangi. My hands were sweating. My hands were hot wet hands. Then people were going crazy.

We had a fantastic day visiting Te Manawa and experiencing what it was like to live in Great Grandparents day We also learned lots from watching and listening to Warren showing us the Maori people made their tools. He was a very clever man with his hands.

You can see the children sorting their favourite toys and discussing the data
The children have had a lovely time today discussing their favourite toys with each other and sorting them into groups. This enabled them to create some data and make a graph to show this data.

They are learning about statistics and what it means.
