The beach cookout

Room one and Room eight left the school at 5 past 11 to the beach for a beach cookout. With us were Ms Kemp, Mrs Glue and Mrs Mclean. In the group that I worked in was Dakota, Charlie, Summer and Me. Our parent was Tim Robbins Dakotas Father. The parents for the other groups were Angnus, Craig and Matt.

We made a pyramid shaped campfire with kindling then we put bigger wood on to the kindling and then we put tinder (Old Mans Beard and Gorse) inside the pyramid campfire. After we finished making our campfire we lit it. Soon the flames were really high and we started preparing our meal.

We made Taty Fry with potatoes, onion and herbs cooked all together. Our group wandered around other groups and waited until our fire went down to ashes and then we started to cook our food on the fires ashes . Soon the food was ready for us to eat , it was nice. After eating our main course we started to stir the pancake mix together for an after snack. Charlie and Summer went down to Watsons Creek to clean our utensils. Soon we were eating our pancakes with maple syrup. I really enjoyed cooking and eating the food we made.

A moment in time

The tiny bump grew bigger as I came nearer I looked over it and saw it drop down.I decided it might be better to stop instead of going down. Then I stupidly slammed my front brake on and… well what happens when you go  whizzing down a slope and put your front brake on?

Well your bike simply tips over and you go flying over the handlebars. Then what happens when you keep holding onto the handlebars? You fall to the ground and since you’re holding onto the bike it falls on top of you. Any way I stupidly slammed my front brake on and my blood froze I felt a tip would the bike go over? My hair wanted to stick up but the helmet stopped it.

The Karanga, A Welcome Call

In Ruma Tahi we have been learning about maraes and we did some research
on certain things that happen on the marae. This is what I found out.

The karanga is a call to welcome people

The karanga is only done by women to welcome the manuhiri onto the marae.  
The karanga is also done by the women from the manuhiri.

The karanga could start as a welcome or greeting but can end as a greeting to
the dead.

Karanga = a call

Manuhiri = visitors
