Waka voyage
One hot summers day we were practicing for the waka heaps of times to go to point england beach to perform. today was the day we got the privilege to go to Point england Beach.When we arrived at Point england Beach we walk all the way near the beach and sit down and watch the waka sail to the beach.All the manaiakalani cluster schools were there also waiting for the hokule'a to arrive.I saw different colour uniforms surrounding us with pride and courage.I could see polynesian, micronesian, melanesian people waiting for the waka to arrive.
I could hear the Horn make a sound, It was pounding in my ears. The horn reminded me of the last post I could smell the sea water going up my nose and giving me goose bumps.I shivered and we saw The Waka come and when the horn stopped we stood up and did a haka, then a 2 waiatas.
My eyes get tired blinking left to right in seconds I just couldn't stop blinking then a man did a speech Then He told that we could touch their hands to make them feel special everywhere they go.
So then we waited for The minute to shake their hand. When it was our turn we went up with tamaki pride and honor to be here in this place with hawaii people we shook there hand and gave the hope to be strong all the way When we finished we said goodbye and went back to school. Next when we came to school I was thinking “that was the best day I ever had”.
