Food In My Culture: Tyler

Food in my Culture

I am from Niue. One of the major celebrations we have is Christmas because, it’s a time to have fun and to enjoy ourselves. One way we can celebrate this is through eating yummy food.

We eat Takihi and we have it with Patako. My Nana prepares the Takihi, and then she cooks it. My mum brings the lu. Now that it’s ready it can be served with fish, lamb and corned-beef but only if we can eat now.

For the desert we eat watermelon and ice cream. An alternative for the watermelon can be pineapple. We usually serve it with french vanilla or hokey pokey, but my favorite is chocolate flavoured ice-cream.

Now its time for the stockings. In my stocking I have lollies and chocolate. I always get the most amount of it, because I take my brothers. The thing I look forward to most is eating the chocolate.

In Niuean Christmas we enjoy eating. It doesn’t matter if it looks yucky, because after all, it's all about the taste and not the looks. I like Christmas the most because I see all my family there.

Quaid and Tyler / Cyprus' O.E.

Cyprus’ O.E.

L.I. Add distances in km

Work out the distance travelled

Plan a trip and calculate the distance travelled

Cyprus is planning his O.E. He has arranged a job in London and he needs to travel from Auckland to there.

He can travel either via America or Asia.  

He needs to fly Air New Zealand to use his airpoints for at least one travel distance , eg: Auckland - San Franfrisco

Use this link to find out the distances between destinations.

Plan two flights for Cyprus, one going to America and then London and one going to Asia and then London.

AMERICA

Auckland - Vancouver = 11, 372 Vancouver - London = 7, 606

7, 606 + 11, 372 = 18, 978

ASIA

Auckland - Hong Kong = 9, 181 Hong Kong - London = 9, 646

9, 646 + 9, 181 = 18, 827

Work out which is the shortest distance travelled, America or Asia?

The shortest flight is the Asia flight.

The distance between the two flights is 149 km.

The longest flight is the American flight.

How much would each trip cost if he was charged $2.50 per km.

Rugby

Rugby

Rugby is a game that is played in 120 countries throughout the world. The values of Rugby come from its history. It can be played by both males and females. One day a man playing soccer picked up a soccer ball and started running with it. It is played here in New Zealand and the rugby team, the all blacks, are more important than the Prime Minister, John Key.

Rugby is a hard sport to understand. If you are going to play rugby you should know what you are doing because if you don’t you could get injured or get a concussion. By 1879 the first rugby unions were formed in Canterbury and Wellington.

In 1903 New Zealand beat Australia in their first official test match. The original All Blacks wore a black jersey and a silver fern near the top right corner. Now they have the ‘AIG’ symbol as well as the Adidas and fern logo.

It was also a proud moment in the history of the All Blacks when they crushed Italy 70 - 6 in an opening match. The Rugby World Cup helped the careers of All Blacks greats Michael Jones and Zinzan Brooke. some of the best All Blacks in the history of New Zealand Rugby.

Rugby was created through a soccer ball. One boy started to run with the ball and that is how rugby was created. 120 countries play the beautiful game of rugby.  Both males and females play this game and has a wonderful career. I have been playing rugby since I was a little boy and I still play now.

911

Do you remember what you were doing the moment you heard that the World Trade Center had been hit by the Taliban in America on September 11 2001? Here in New Zealand in was on September 12 2001. You may remember this as the ‘9 / 11’. Many people try to forget what happened on that day. I remember as if it was yesterday because so many people died. Firemen and other volunteers also helped the people that were in danger on that tragic day.
