Year 7&8 Technology

Last week on Wednesday the year 7&8’s went to Moerewa School to go to Technology. The year 8’s started with cooking while the year 7’s did woodwork. We chose to make lasagna with a minimum of five vegetables in it. Before we started to cook we set expectations for ourselves on how our lasagna should look like and taste like. Fonz-o and I chose different varieties of vegetables and ingredients including tomatoes, capsicum, carrots and more. We chopped up our veggies and added it to our mince and bacon that was frying in the pan. We made a white sauce and pasta to add in the tray for the lasagna. When that was finished Fonz-o put everything in a small tray and put it in the oven to cook. I enjoyed tech because the lasagna tasted nice.

Waitangi Day Waka Tangata

Last week Kingi and I attended a wananga learning about Waka Tangata. It was a three day camp learning the techniques on how to paddle and what to say after the kaihautu calls. On the day we had to prepare ourselves in the clothes that we chose. We paddled on the day showing the crowd Ngawhakamatautau and our new ngeri. We did other calls but those were our main actions to show everyone. We weren't able to show what we learnt on land because the tide was too high for all the other wakas to fit on the beach. Waitangi day was fun but hot as.
