Matariki and our school hangi

We had an amazing matariki celebration today. Not only did we have a hangi and yummy food to share but we also brought all our science learning together to see if we could answer the big question this term....how does a hangi cook your food?

We went out lots of times to check on what was happening. We came back to the classroom to draw diagrams of what we had seen. We even had a look at what the steam was doing inside the hangi by watching Joy boil up water inthe electric frypan...wow there wasa. Lot of steam and it was so hot too.

Some of us were surprised by the smoky flavour in the vegs but just about everyone really liked the food. Well done Nic - you did a great job.
