Ki o'rahi

 Hey bloggers,

This is part 3 of Embracing our culture and this post it's about a sport called Ki O Rahi, this is a sport that is kind of like rugby, but at the same time not really.  this revolves around using your teamwork and kill to get right to the middle where the goal is. The sport's rules are different for every game, tribe, and family but there are three kinds. touch, tackle, and, rippa.  I have made an animation of how this game works, it's very basic but it may be hard to follow along so I deeply apologize for that.  but it is showing you how the game runs. have you played it before? I would love to know!

New Hangi Inventions

 Hello Bloggers,

This is rather part 2 of Embracing our culture. But instead, we are looking at the traditional way of cooking food, The hangi. Hangi Is a way of cooking food using the earth as an oven, this is demonstrated by digging a hole in the ground, putting food in little boxes, using hot stones to cook it, then putting mounds of earth on top and letting it sit there and cook for 3-4 hours.here is the link to 100% pure New Zealand if you wish to find out more.  but as you may know, technology can change even the most sacred of things, so some qualified engineers invented the Te kohatu hangi cooker. I demonstrate this in my poster that talks about how technology can change such things as hangi and what was the difference between the past and the present. there will also be a video down below on the workings of this cooker. so what do you think of this cooker? Have you ever had a hangi before?

Embracing our culture

 Hey Bloggers,

I apologize for not posting in the last couple of weeks. I have been away for most Fridays and that is when I do my weekly blog posts, but I'm here to make up for it. Recently we have been looking at international relations and for a start, we have Been looking at our very own country. Starting with New Zealand. It is important that we embrace our cultures so that we don't forget where we come from. We have been instructed to learn about three things from our culture. The haka, Ta Moko, and The Korowai. down the bottom are my answers to what I have learned in the past few days. I would like to finish off with this question and this question only, where are you from? I would love to know.
