On the 10th of June, we held a hangi as a part of our Matariki celebrations.
We lit the hangi around six o'clock in the morning. Many kids came early to see the fire being lit. Later in the afternoon we had waiata, then we all said our karakia before we ate our hangi. Many children's whanau came to the hangi as well. A lot of the food was donated and we are very grateful to the families who put down the hangi, prepared the food and helped with the cleaning up. It was a great day that everyone enjoyed.
It was a great day and it was fantastic to see the children trying hangi food - many hadn't had it before! Amazing how children will eat vegetables when they are served as a celebration at school!
