This year at Kelvin Road School during Term 4 we had the great opportunity to have a Hangi. A Hangi is known as a Maori earth oven. The children learned about the protocols of a how a Hangi is prepared traditionally. The tamariki really enjoyed preparing the stuffing as well as the vegetables for the Hangi. The children also gained knowledge on why we have Hangi's and why it is important as part of our cultural identity. It was a very exciting and enjoyable learning experience for the children.
