Firstly we walked to Pt England for something special… Waka Landing.
While we were walking we saw other schools strolling to Pt England Reserve. When we arrived we sat at our spot and talked and talked to keep us comfortable until the waka landed. At the Pt England Reserve there were 11 schools that were attending and to give their support to the waka landing on Wednesday 25 March 2015.
Later on when the waka landed a boy from Tamaki College blew a Pukaea horn to tell the people on board that we are ready. When they came we sang “He Honore” and “Nga Waka e” to welcome them to our country. After that we sang more songs and they made speeches about Manaiakalani and said that we are the “CHILDREN OF THE NAVIGATORS”.
Towards the end we did a hi five to the people who came from Hawaii.
Finally after that we walked back to school to have a little rest before doing our work.
