Manaikalani Schools Meet the Waka

'

I'm excited!The schools welcome the Waka from Hawaii.

When we got to Point England beach a boy blew a big long Maori horn to welcome them. After that we stood up to performed a haka to them.

Then we sang a Maori song and did the haka again  because there were more people coming from the waka. Next, the people from Hawaii sang a song to us. It was a nice song.

Then we stood up to sing Nga Waka e Whitu.Then the student leaders who were standing on the beach placed a necklace on there neck.
After that we all shook hands and gave hi five to the people from Hawaii.

Finally we went back to the bus. I wish we can go again.

My trip to the beach

Horay! On the new year my dad's cousin invited us to the beach.

First we set the white tent up. Then we set the BBQ with the umbrella. I went under the umbrella to put on some sunscreen to play volley ball. It was so hot, so I waited under the umbrella.

After that it wasn't hot anymore so, I played on the sand with my sister. Then we went to collect shells. Me and my sister built a castle on the sand.

Later on, we all went for a swim.On the water I was paddling. Then we played with the ball. I passed the ball to RJ and then he passed the ball to my cousin,she passed it back to my sister.We got cold in the water so we all got out. 

Then mum called us to come and eat.
We all ate Samoan food. I ate chicken,rice and taro. That was delicious.

Finally it was time to go back home. I was tired.

My special time with my grandparents!

Did you know that my family, grandparents and I went to Waiheke last year?

First we went to the top seats of the boat. Then the boat moved and my grandpa said "Wow, this is fun". After that, my grandma and I went to the bottom seats to get some water.



Later on we arrived to Waiheke, my grandma and I had to look for a bus so that it can show us around Waiheke Island. My grandparents, family and I went on a double decker bus. We also went to palm beach and went swimming in the water. After that, we went to a bakery. We ate so much and that made us very full.

After that we went back to the bus and went to have a look at the river. Then the man told us that we could go and take pictures outside. So my papa and I went outside to take some photos. 

Then it was nearly 7:00 clock so we took a taxi to the pier to catch the boat. My grandparents and I went to the bottom seats.

Finally we got back to Auckland. It was fun there and I wish I could go again.

My Snag golf

Can you play golf ? I played golf and my coaches are  Stu and Kannel.

First we had to hop on the squares.Then hop and miss 2, 3 and 4 squares.Next we played baseball golf, and it was a little hard.We had to hold the grip of the club and swing it.

I had to hit the ball and put the club away on the orange hoop and run to the first hoop with the stick in the middle.

After that we had to swap groups.Kevin hit the ball. I got it and I ran and put the ball in the hoop but Kevin got a goal.
  Lastly, it was finished and we had to shake hands and say thank you.
