Hangi

 Hangi  

last term we had a Hangi at school.

First some people in my class were digging a huge hole behind the bike shed. They were doing this so that the food could cook in the ground. 

We had a look at the hangi and lots of people were coughing and gagging (not because of COVID-19) but because of smoke.  I had my jumper over my mouth to filter the air a bit more.

Some other people were peeling and chopping the vegetables to put in the Hangi.

 Miss Shannon bought a Kai cooker and we cooked some of the food in the cooker and some of it in the ground.  The stuff that went in the pit was very smokey and great.

It tasted nice but it was a bit raw. I did not like it that much.  

I know that lots of people liked or loved it a lot. We listened  to music and chatted with our friends. One of the teachers made my dad a huge plate full of hangi for dinner.  My dad ate a lot of the hangi and said that it was yum.  Personally I think the food was okay but I liked the togan one better.

tea bag fun

 In Room 10 we were trying to make tea bags fly but Mr Raj was getting the wrong tea bags. Not once, not twice but 5 times 6 times lucky (hopefully).  

The next day I brought some more tea bags which were different. Some of them were flying low and one went right up to the roof.

I was happy when I saw my friends excited.

In my mind I saw fireworks exploding and raining ashes to the ground. Here is some science behind this experience.  

As the flame burns it heats the air inside the hollow center of the tea bag. As the air gets hotter the air molecules become less dense and move around. The less dense warmer air rises above the more dense cooler air around the tea bag. Since the tea bag is so light it rises with it so it  flies.

It felt so awesome to be part of the experience and having fun with my friends.
