The process of the Hangi

Today I learnt how you make a Hangi and the process of one . First you dig a ditch , but it doesn't need to be deep(so it doesn't take long) Then you need to get the wood ready.Most of it is Manuka. Next , the railway irons go on . They're good because they heat up well . now the stones . But they have to be volcanic rocks . Then there aare the veges to be peeled, washed, rapped in tin foil , then stored in food baskets. after that you light the fire . Keep a hose handy . now you wait,wait and wait until the time is up. Now it is time to get the ashes and stones out of the pit. IT'S HOT WORK !!! Now the stones and rail irons go back in and then the baskets of food. Now you put on lots of earth so more heat and steam stays in that is the way you cook a hangi. But don't forget the wet sheets and the sacks.(so that sand or dirt doesn't come in) Now the best bit of all ... EATING IT (YUMM)!!!!!!!! So if I were you I'd bring lots of water if you are making a hangi!!!

Maths

Today I learnt that in maths if you are using a quarter that the top number is the most so for example if you have a 1/4 and a 2/4 the 2/4 is the most when people ask what is the big one out of these you pick 2/4.
