Last week it was our Maori language week, and to celebrate it, we ll had a go at making Maori arts and craft and preparing a hangi. I made Maori bread with Fin from our class.
After we had made the bread, and put it in the oven, I had a go making a flower from weaving flax. Mine was Okay, but it had gaps in several places. After making my flower, it was time to get our bread out of the oven and start slicing the bread. We had to be careful, as cutting the bread too forcefully, as it will stick together and become dough like again. This was hard, but as we got the hang of it, a teacher took over because she reckoned we were cutting too slow. Now it was time for the hangi and we had to bring the plates of bread over, and wait for the hangi to start. Hangis are a lot different to english dinners, as you don’t serve yourself, you serve other people. The hangi was tasty as I had three peices of pork, and two slices of Maori bread 
After lunch I had a go at making a carving. Unfortunately, I made a bad attempt and I had to big dips in my carving, and I tries a different, but I think easier way. Instead of using a wooden hammer to hit the carving tool in the wood, I used the carving tool like a pencil. When people saw doing this they laughed at my idea. Eventually, I went back to the normal method and I started to get the hang of it, but before too long, I made lots of holes, and it was impossible to carve with all the holes in my carving, so I had to chuck my carving in the bin. By the end of this, it was the end of the day. Thanks to all the teachers who made this day possible. it was most enjoyable.
