Aotearoa History Show - New Zealand Wars (Part 2)

Hello

Welcome back to my blog post, today at hurumanu 1 we watched a video about the New Zealand War (Part two)

When we watched the video we got lots of information about the New Zealand history, and some were shocking. They talked about Te Ua, Te Toku Whare and Teku Te. Today was different, after we watched the video we didn't answer the following question we made a summary about the video. But we still took notes to help us make this summary

This is my summary

In 1894 Te Ua saw an angel and the angel spoke to him and said that Maori should own the land and no one else. He believed that the Angel. In 1894 Te Ua made a new religion which is called Paimarie and he became a prophet.

In 1860 more settlers were coming in and the Maori’s and the British were fighting for land, because the British government wanted the lands of New Zealand and the Maori didn’t want them to have full control of the land. The New Zealand wars ended in 1872, about 3000 people died and 2000 Maori died.

Te Toku Whare was the new PM leader, he tried to stop the war but they didn’t listen and still fighted. Te Toku Whare was a smart leader.

Teku Te was sent to Chatham Island because they thought that Teku Te was the spy, and 100+ of his followers were sent there too. In 1968 Teku Te found a ship with supplies in it and him and his followers sailed back to New Zealand. Teku Te wanted revenge because they sent him to Chatham Island, he attacked the village and killed 70 people. Then Teku Te was attacked and 100+ of his followers but he survived.

To finish the task we have to read the book first, then if we finished reading the book the teachers have prepared some questions based on the story mahinga kai. Some we're hard to answer but it was ok.

Here is one of questions that I answered:

Making Biltong (Beef Jerky)

Magandang umaga /  Magandang hapon,

  Good morning          Good afternoon

Welcome back to my blog post, today in hurumanu 3 which is science we made beef jerky.

Yesterday I finished my work task to be able to create beef jerky today, and I manage to create beef jerky today. So in the work task we have to tell what are the ingredients that we need and also the steps on how to make beef jerky.

These are the ingredients that we need to make beef jerky:

Salt

Beef

White Sugar

Those are the main ingredients, and we only used that ingredients to make beef jerky today. It was pretty easy to make and the meat felt slimy.

These are the steps that I did

Write out the step-by-step instructions

1. Get all of the ingredients that you need, which are the cutted flank beef, pickling salt and white sugar.
2. Get a pinch of salt and sprinkle it on the cutted flank meat, after you sprinkle the first side that you did turn over and sprinkle the other side with a pinch of salt. Also repeat the same steps for the sugar.
3. After you sprinkled the salt, hang up the meat on the string line using a peg. 
4. Leave the meat hanging in the string line for 3 days to let it dry

This is what it looked like:

And this is how it looks like when it was dry:

How I describe the beef jerky:

See : It looks like dog food

Smell : Dog Food

Hear : Crunch

Taste : Rotten Salty Tuna

I rate it a 0, because it taste gross. I don't like it, I think it was a fail.

Questions : -Have you ever made a homemade beef jerky?
