Last week on Wednesday Room 7,9 and 10 from Glenbrae School walked to Point England Beach to see the Malama Honua waka. We had to walk in two lines till we got to the shortcut near the Pools. When all of us got to the shortcut, we turned into it and then kept walking till we saw the beach.
When we got there, we saw heaps of schools. In the sea, we saw Hokulea, the name of the Waka. The people aboard Hokulea travel all over the world, using traditional methods to track where they were going.
We sat down, and then the visitors came, and the leader did a haka to welcome them. Then we stood up and sang a song for them. People then started praying in maori.
Schools then came one by one to shake hands and say goodbye. Then some of the House leaders from the school stayed behind. We each got a plate of food, and did a fun activity.
