Hangi - Friday 28th February

Island Bay School hangi:

Friday 28^th February

Ma pango ma whero ka oti. By black and red together it is done.

Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

Next Friday M12 and M13 are going to work together with Maria to put down the school hangi at Tapu te Ranga Marae.

This will involve preparing the food, packaging the food, cleaning the hall, digging the hole for the fire and watching the laying down of the hangi. Then we will spend some time sketching what we can see at the marae.

Instead of coming to school that morning, we will meet at Tapu te Ranga Marae, 44 Rhine St, Island Bay, at 8.55am on Friday 28^th February to start the day. After we have spent the morning at the marae, we will eat our lunch at the marae and walk back to school after lunch.

We will need around 6 parent helpers per class to help with food preparation, setting up the hangi and supervision of the children. If you are able to help, please indicate on the return slip below.

We’re looking forward to a great day. Remember to bring your sunhat, drink bottle, and a substantial lunch to fuel our hard work!

Nga mihi,

Maria, Adele, and Amy A
