Celebrating Puanga or the Maori New Year


We went to the Cosmodome at the Museum. It was really dark inside. Some of us thought it was spooky.



We looked at lots of interesting things on the ceiling and walls of the cosmodome. The computer told us stories and lots of interesting information.


Some of us invented space craft after our visit. They are all different.




This is a page from a story about Marariki. This page tells of ways to celebrate the Maori New Year. We decided to make some Pumpkin and Carrot soup to share.


Kevin and Binuka are taking the seeds out of the pumpkin and removing the skin. We used two spoons to scrape the pulp.


These boys are grating the carrots for the pot. They did not grate their fingers luckily.



The soup is bubbling and smells Yum!


Our teacher blended the soup to make it thick with the Kitchen Whizz.

Baylen tastes it and said he liked the flavour.


Rinoa said it was really hot and had to blow to make it cooler to eat.



We are having fun sharing food and a laugh together.


Some of us wanted more. There was plenty of soup left for everyone.
