The kids a studying healthy food thats what they are learning about at there school.  What do you know about this topic?  I know about this topic is that we have to eat lots and lots of healthy food everyday. What I know also is that this what they are studying for at school.



Because they are studying this topic what do you think they are learning? Can you tell me three things about healthy eating? The reason they are learning this and the reason they are eating healthy things is to keep there brains working for school and they can learn. The three things they should be eating is Vegetables, Chops and you can drink water that is also healthy to.

Mareka dad shot a pig and took it to there school to cook for there Hangi and it is really fresh because he went hunting and saw it and he shot and decided to take it to Mareka hangi.

For what reason do you think they are wrapping the meat in tinfoil? Have you ever cooked or seen anyone cook using tinfoil. For what reason do you think they were using this material when cooking? They use the tinfoil is because to keep the heat inside and it also can cook properly so it can taste really well, and also it can be really nice when you eat it.

Wednesday:

What do they cook the food in? How do you think this cooks the food? They cook it in a hangi that is made of wood and they bring something raw then they put it in the wooden hangi for 20 or 30 minutes later and it is fresh and cook up ready to eat.

Why do the children not have to worry about their kai burning? Because they will put it into tinfoil to warm it up and the brunt parts will be soft and also the kids can just peel it off.

What do you think about this traditional way of cooking? If you had the opportunity to cook in this way would you? Why/why not? No is because I can’t do a Hangi and I think my parents will is because they know how to do or when they are too lazy to cook they can just buy something and put it into the Hangi and ready to cook.

How are the locals making money from this way of cooking? What they local to get money is if they make lots and lots of Hangi they can be able to sell if and put up a sign up and when put drives past they can see the sign and they will come and have a try of the Hangi.

Approximately how long does it take for food to cook in this way? Is this the normal amount of time food takes to cook? I think it only take an half an hour just to cook but it also depends if the food was in the freezer for long because if it was in the freezer it will be hard to hangi and it will take a really long time how it usually cooks.

When does the puia become cooler, for what reason does this occurence make it become cooler? They wrap it in a tinfoil to make it cooler and fresh to eat for the kids who make it and it can also be warm and healthy to eat.

For what reason was some of the food still firm? Because it was not cooked properly and it was not wrapped up in a tinfoil because if you don’t wrap it up with a tinfoil it will not be cooked really well how you wanted it to look.

Do you think that by cooking in this way the students are eating healthily? yes because it is fresher and healthier for kids and really nice that they can enjoy the really yummy Hangi.

What were some of the uses for puia, besides cooking? Hangi, potatoes, meat and also vegetables.

The Malaysian Airlines - News paper report



Malaysian Airlines Vanished.



Writer’s name: Asena



A Malaysian Airlines flight has vanished from radar screens with 239 people on board and has still not been found. It disappeared on Saturday less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, the plane was bound to Beijing. Two New Zealanders were on board this plane, Planes and ships from across Asia are hunting for the missing plane. The thing that is worrying other people in the country is how two members got into the flight buy stolen passports.


At this reason for disappearing is unknown. The weather was definitely fine, that the plane was going in a fast speed and didn’t send a distress signal. This plane didn’t have enough foil to be flying this long, it only takes 7 hours just to get to Beijing.  



I was wondering how did this plane disappear is it because it didn’t follow the  right direction. People who had families or friends  that was on board is really disappointed because there love ones are on this plane and they are really upset. Watching the news one lady was crying because her son was one of them that was on board on the Malaysian airlines she was crying so loud that the security couldn't be able to hold her because she was moving around and crying because she really misses her son.  

People in the world are saying maybe the pilot was the one that made the plane disappear by purpose so families can be really upset. Do they know the pilot really well or not. I really hate this pilot because there were 7 children on this plane and they wanted to visit Beijing because lots of there families were there and they wanted to see them.

Hopefully they will find the plane one day and hope the people that was in the plane is still alive even the kids and babes that was on board. One day I wish that they will be back with there family and be safe together as the go, and as I pray I pray that one day or maybe today they can find the missing plane that everyone will be safe and sound.
