Firey Hangi

The lifting part of hangi is going to be fun.

I have been thinking about it all day. I think the Hangi food is going to be delicious.

The Hangi was very flamey and smokey. The men got lots of newspaper and stuffed it into the wood in the dug out hole. It was very hot and fun watching. We all got smoke in our eyes, and I put my jersey on the wrong way and I put my hoodie over my face.

Hangi

There was a lot of wood, and a lot of food. The men did all the hard work. Nathan, Lauren, Amy, and I were not allowed to smell smoke because we get asthma. There was smoke, smoke everywhere. Everyone was running around the wood, smoke, and fire. Everyone was excited and could not wait for the hangi. My nana is coming and my dad is not coming because he is waiting for a girl who is coming to my house for the weekend.

THE GREEN FOREST

WRITTEN BY RENEE HEAYNS


Far, far away, a mystical island stands. Some people think it is mystical, but no one knows. It’s as green as Tane, the God of the forest.

One day a very big fire came and destroyed half of the island. Tane was very sad, and very, very angry. Anyway hunters came on ships. They destroyed all the living things on the island. This time Tane was very, very, very, very, very angry. He stomped his feet. He thought he’d make an earthquake. He had a plan. He would destroy whoever made fire, and destroy the hunters. And destroy, whatever was coming up next!

Then the fire person came out of the trees and the hunters too. Tane was finding free space. BANG BASH! He made the biggest earthquake he had ever done in his life. He banged the fire person and the hunters. And look at that! Tane was astonished. There was a Tsunami! Tane was scared but he was brave too. He put his hand in front of his head, and pushed and pushed and pushed. He pushed hard as…..then BANG! BASH! CRASH! Tane fainted.

Then what a sight, all the animals that were hiding when the hunters came, appeared. The animals pushed and pushed and pushed, just like Tane did. The Tsunami was gone and so was Tane.
Tane was very happy with all the animals. And so, all the animals were given different kinds of powers because……… Tane was so, so happy.

Hangi Day is coming Sunny and Jorja

The Hangi is coming. The teacher said it will be here next Friday.
The hangi is what Maori people do. People are doing the hangi for us. The people's names are Dale Pope's dad, Kane, Trigger and Howard's dad. Our mums and dads are coming. We are doing songs, Hoea te Waka, Papaki Mai and Mahunga. The food is lamb, pork, chicken, kumara, potatoes and mixed vegies.
The people that are helping, are all kids. The hangi sounds yum.

The Sporty Car

The car is new and very shiny, its windows are curved and very

fragile. The car looks like it could move very smoothly and its

chairs look very comfy. It looks shiny because it is silver, and it

looks like it has a black window on the back. The mirrors are

pointed to the ground and the tyres are black as black could be. The fragile windows have

rubber around them and they are like a Dragonfly's wings. The headlights look like they would

be very bright. It is not moving because no one is driving it.
