Week 8:Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

This week our school learned the Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori we used a lot of Māori words this week and also what Māori people eat or use.

I like the taste of a hangi because my friend invited me to her house and we had a party over there. Her dad was making their Māori traditional food and it was called hangi. The first step was making a fire, digging a hole and putting wood stone and iron in there and lighting it. 

While you are waiting you might want to go and get ready for the food you will need: heihei (chicken), paukena (pumpkin), mīti poaka (pork) kōtero (potato), kāpiti (cabbage). Then you put the food on top of the fire and let it burn for a few hours and take it out, if it’s not ready then wait for mow hours then it should be ready and enjoy.

I found out that learning Māori is hard. It’s hard to understand it if I learn Māori then I know how to speak 3 different languages sounds cool but I’m just too lazy to learn a new language.  I know learning any language is not an easy thing to do .
