Getting Together With The Manaiakalani Schools
Noisy people, children shouting and a really cool event.
Last week, on Tuesday we went to Pt England for the Hokule’a Landing. Our four fabulous leaders who represented our school went to the front of the Haka group to do their actions. Every school had more than one leader. Before we sat down we took photos.
We weren’t sitting for long until the waka came. When the waka came we starting to sing one of our songs. Our leaders started off the song and then we joined in. We saw smiling faces, calm waves and a lot of people talking. There were 11 schools and only one college which was Tamaki College. After we sang our first song this man from the waka started to talk to us. We were listening to the man speaking because we had to show manners. When the man finished talking we started to sing our other song.
Some people from the waka came on this little boat and then they carried on bringing other people to where we were standing. Not that much people talked to us, it was mostly the men talking. This man said, “We are the children of the navigators."
The day was a special event and we got to high five the special guests. Room 12 were the first ones to high five them from our school.. It was really fun. At the end of the day we were THE CHILDREN OF THE NAVIGATORS.
