	Our School Hangi September 2006 As part of our Maori Culture Inquiry Unit, the children were able to experience a hangi. Mr Pennell, who lives in our district, laid down the hangi for us.
	Mr Clark and Mr Pennell lay the wood for the hangi fire.	Mr Pennell puts the irons on the wood.	The fire is ready to be lit.	BP Tech Rox.htm
	Away it goes.	Raking the wood together so it all burns up.	Mrs Pennell gets the vegetables organized.
	Food is wrapped up and put into the baskets.	The baskets are loaded onto the truck.	The fires has burnt down and the irons are nice and hot!
	Raking the ashes out.	Getting rid of the last bit of ash.	The irons are left at the bottom.
	In goes the baskets of food.	Put on the covers to keep it clean.	It's starting to steam already!
	Cover it over and pat down the soil.	The Junior children share an action song.	Now it's the Senior children sharing their poi song.
	Lifting the food baskets.	Ready and willing to eat.	Lots of keen customers.
	Parents lending a hand with the cutting up and serving.	It was a great hangi!
