Week 1 - Day 3 - Activity 2 Pepeha

For this activity I did a pepeha. A pepeha is used to introduce yourself and talk about family or ancestry. In my pepeha I have talked about , What mountain I affiliate with , What river/lake/sea I affiliate with, My Mum & Dads name , Where I come from and my name. I found this activity interesting because I enjoyed trying to say the answers in Maori.

The Mountain I affiliate with is Mount Wellington

The river I affiliate with is the Tamaki River.

No Tamaki Makaurau ahau

My parents are Fusi and Amanaki.

Ko Freeman toku ingoa
My name is Freeman.

Week 1 - Day 2 - Bonus Activity Special Meals

For my bonus activity I had to find my favourite meal and find the recipe. My favourite food is butter chicken but bought from the shop. This is my favourite food because I love eating chicken and rice together. I have found a recipe of how to make easy butter chicken.

Step 1 : Place yoghurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala and chilli powder in a glass or ceramic dish. Add chicken. Stir to coat. Cover. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 2 : Heat oil and butter in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened. Add chicken mixture to pan. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until chicken just starts to change colour. Add tomato puree and stock. Cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 3: Stir in cream. Simmer for a further 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve with steamed rice and coriander leaves.

Week 1 - Day 2 - Activity 2 The rules of engagement

For this activity I had to draw a picture of my dream job. My dream job is to become a New Zealand Police officer. To work as an police officer I would have to have a lot of skills including critical thinking and adaptability. In the future I hope to get a job like this to help the community and help them from danger.
