Aloha! The Corbans Estates trip
On the 13th of November middle school went on a trip to Corbans Estates and some adults came too. There are a group of women called the Pacific mamas. Secondly the school was arranged in groups. there were two buses so half of middle school went on that bus and other half went on the other bus.
when we got there one of the Pacific mamas talked to us and tapped her drums then she stopped at the gate and said we are going to let the elders go in first and then the girls will go and lastly the boys. the Pacific mamas talked to us about greetings. Thirdly the Pacific mamas has work shops there are drumming and making our own lei.
We got to try both shops but half of the group went to make lei's and other half went to drum. I got to make a lei with fake colourful flowers and then we went drumming. Some of the teachers and adults got to play drum's and tapping with there sticks on round log things. And all the kid's in our group got to play the log things and drums with the adults and teachers. Then the boys had to sit on one side of the room and the girls had to sit facing the boys on the other room. one of the women said to the girls if they could stand up and then the women did a dance and the girls followed and then the boys do a dance and after that the kids went to their adults and we went on a bus back to school.
My favourite part was making the lei's.
