this is my umu recount

Umu recount.

Last friday I was so excited for a Umu since I haven’t had one ever. I couldn’t wait and I think the class couldn’t too. Mr T was working on the umu all day and the samoan community helped too. As we were waiting in class before lunch the class was informed that the umu was getting unwrapped and if we wanted to watch. I stared outside to get a glimpse of smoke passing through the sky. We went down to the court to watch in a moment I felt so warm from the heat of the umu. I thought the field would go up in flames but to my surprise it didn’t. It was one of our teachers' last day and I couldn't get over the fact that she was leaving that day because she was here with us since the start of term. This really bothered me! I watched as Mr T, Mr Tyrell and our samoan community started to take off newspaper and banana leaves. mmmmm that smell was flavourful and I couldn’t wait till I could eat that. I couldn’t wait but we were last to get our food. I got food and… the flavour bursted in my mouth and I felt like I was on a pacific island. The chop suey was amazing and the raw fish was delicious too. I felt that I needed another bowl but there was not that much left. So I didn’t eat anymore. That will be something that I will never forget the yummy taste of umu.
