Our Tūī in Room 23 have had a wonderful start to our learning this week.
With the help of Matua Dudley and Whaea Carol we began our inquiry about Hangi.
We started off with a brainstorm about hangi,
Kei te mōhio kē mātou? What do we already know?
Their responses were:
- You put stuff in the ground.
- Put the fire in the ground.
- Put leave and wood.
- Put vegetable in - carrots and corn
- Rocks are in the fire.
- Sausages, chicken
- Have hangi at tangi and parties.
Our tamariki shared some awesome ideas about what they already knew about hangi. I then asked them what they would like to know about hangi and two pātai came about.
- Can you cook fish in the hangi?
- Can we cook a hangi in the oven?
After our brainstorming we watched a couple of video clips showing us how to make a ground hangi before we went into Te Korowai Aroha a Rahera to prepare our hangi for the oven.

| We had to put our kai into our tray |

| Whaea Carol put the stuffing in before Whaea Camille put the lids on each tray. |
Matua Dudley put them all into the oven and we let them cook for just over an hour.
We went back into Te Whare Awhina and decided to look on youtube to see if you can cook fish in a hangi and we learnt that YES you can cook fish in a hangi!!

| Me karakia i mua i te kai. |
He reka te hangi ki a mātou katoa.

| Thumbs up for our yummy hangi in the oven. |
We also learnt that we can cook a hangi in the oven not just in the ground.
Our Inquiry about Hangi was a GREAT success, no doubt this is the beginning of many more inquiries to come.
Mauri ora ki a koutou katoa e te whānau.
