Manaiakalani Schools

                                          Manaiakalani Schools

Hurray!  Today our school went to Point England beach to welcome the waka from Hawaii.

First we sat down on the grass and then we heard horn sounds. It sounded like elephants calling their friends.

Next we saw students doing the haka. Then the waka arrived.

The people from the waka got on the speedboat to

get to the beach. The students did the haka again.

Then, we sang He Honore and everybody sang beautifully.

When we finished singing someone spoke on the speaker.

Then we high-fived the waka crew and the visitors from 

Hawaii.

Finally we waited for our bus to take us back to school.

It was an awesome day!

Popular Pets in Room 5L

The turtles is the most popular pet in Room 5L. They were popular because they have a
hard shell and they have nine patterns.Seventeen students chose turtle as their favourite pet. The least popular pet were birds because they fly away. They create mess through bird seed going on the
floor and you cannot cuddle a bird. Only nine students chose bird as a favourite pet.

Forces in Motion

 This term I have been learning about forces. We did this experiment on how far a car travels when it is on a slope. I learnt that if we used two books the car would travel a short distance and if we used a thick pile of books the car would travel a greater distance.
