Our School Hangi

This term Sacred Heart School is having a hangi right here on the school grounds! (How exciting) Room 7, 8 and 9 are going to sing Ka Waiata. Also some children from Room 9 have sorted out some tinfoil plates and sorted them into Room numbers.

On Tuesday the school will get a plate to put our food in.

On Wednesday Mr Kaa and Mr Humm will put the Kai (food) in the hangi at 8am in the morning! The Kai needs to cook for about three to four hours.

We will have our lunch at one o’clock in the afternoon.

Before we have our Kai we will have a powhiri. During a powhiri we have a Karanga. A Karanga is a call to tell the manuhiri (guests) that the can come onto our marae (school grounds). Also we have a mihi (speeches) from Mr Forde. Some children from Rooms 7, 8 and 9 will hongi our manuhiri to say that you are not our manuhiri anymore you are know part of us.

Then after the children have hongied our manuhiri we can now we are allowed to have our Kai (food). YAY!!! Wait I almost forgot the guests get their Kai first and we get our Kai after all the guests have got theirs.
