Maori Language week

This week at school we celebrated Maori language week, This week we celebrated many things but I am only going to write about three. One of the things we did was making poi poi's. These are used in dances to go along with the music. I made two with my friend Ashling. Another thing we did was singing and learning Maori songs. Now for the last thing I am going to share with you is that we made fried bread, People use fried bread to celebrate Maori language week because the ingredients are simple and does not take to long to make plus it is very fulling.

If you want to make your own fried Bread the recipe is bellow.
