Guess what's happening this Friday night?
Aloha is coming to Grey Lynn School and everybody is doing a performance!
Room 14 brought in pumpkins and onions? For what you may ask?
Well it's for the Umu...what's an umu we hear you ask?
This is how you pronounce umu - ( oo-moo)
Well, an umu is....a traditional way of cooking from a country called Samoa. The food cooked is a pig, pumpkin, onions, and some kumara. But in Samoa they would include other foods.
The cooks dig a hole and the food is cooked inside the earth. The earth becomes the oven.
At Aloha there will also be lots of games, a raffle, some bands are performing, Samoan group and bollywood group, candy floss, glow sticks, and lights.
Every class is responsible for running and shop(gazebo).
Our class is responsible for the umu and we are also the Samoan Group for the night.
We hope to see you at our school for some awesome, amazing, astonishing, amusing, addictive, astounding Aloha fun !
Room 14
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like there is a lot of preparation to make all the exciting events at Aloha happen. Great alliteration.
