Marvellous Maori Culture

 Hey Bloggers, something else we have been learning about is some things in the maori culture. Some things we researched were Tā Moko, a maori tatttoing, Korowai, a maori cloak and Haka, a maori tribal dance. For each of these things we had to compare past and present. I found it a it hard to research the korowai, there wasn't that much information on them.

Have you ever worn a Korowai? I haven't, if you have what does it feel like to wear one? If there is anything i can do to improve the blog post please comment below.

Bye Bloggers Soph :)

Full of fun Ki o Rahi

 Hey Bloggers another thing we researched was the game Ki o Rahi. We had to research the legend behind it and the basic game rules. We also got to play it, it was really fun! I found it a bit hard to fit all the writing on to the poster, sorry if you can't read it that well! It is a bit confusing that the legend dosen't have anything to do with the game. The version on this poster is shortened, if you want to read the whole story click here. 

Have you ever played Ki o Rahi? If I haven't explained the rules well enough please tell me! If there is anything I can improve on please comment below and tell me!

Bye Bloggers, Soph (:

Past and Present

 Hey Bloggers in class we have been researching things about NZ. This Blog post is about  the difference and changes in the Hāngī. I found it a bit difficult explaining the modern kind of Hāngī. I think it is quite interesting that people came up with somethings like this in the olden days. It was a lot more hard work to cook their Hāngī then cooking our food in the oven. 

Have you ever had a Hāngī? I did but I can't really remember it. If there is anything I can do better please comment below.

Bye Bloggers, Soph.
