Hangi's Past and Present

 Today I had to make something that shows the difference between a traditional hangi and a modernized hangi. I made a poster on canvas to show this. I split the page in half to show the differences.

Both traditional and modern have their pros and cons. The modern one can cook faster but it can't cook as much. It also doesn't take nearly as long to prepare. 

Traditional ways have a better taste of the cooked meat. The cons of the traditional ways are, it takes a long time to prepare and a lot of effort.

Haka's Culture

 For inquiry this week we have been looking at New Zealand's culture and heritage. There were three different traditions that we could look at. The first one is Ta Moko which looks at how tattoos are used in culture. The second one was Kakahu which is the traditional clocks of the leaders. The final tradition is the Haka. I choose to do the Haka.

Above is what the Haka means they normally perform it for good luck and intimidation. They would do the Haka before they go to war to show their strength. Now they use it to intimidate the opposition before a rugby game.

Leaders Trip to PYDT(Papanui Youth Development Trust)

 Hello and welcome back to my blog. How was your first week of school? My week felt longer than usual. On Monday and Tuesday, we went on a leader's trip to Papanui Youth Development Trust(PYDT). We were taught about 6 habits to become a better leader.  We went to a climbing wall on the second day which was fun. We also had to write a short speech to summarise our trip. These are the habits below.

Habit 1: Be proactive, not reactive

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

Habit 3: Put first things first

Habit 4: Think win-win

Habit 5: Seek to understand, then to be understood

Habit 6: Synergize

Underneath are some pictures of the leader's trip.
