Walt:Write a recount
On the 25th of March everyone strolled over to Pt England beach for the Powhiri. Everyone one left school around 8:30 so we could arrive at the Powhiri by 10:00.
First at Pt England we all had to look for our sitting area. We had to sit next to the Glen Brae and Panmure bridge schools. The first song that we sang was E oho for the people arriving on the waka.
Next there was an academic person from Hawaii who was telling us about the hook of manaiakalani. He was saying that the scientist from Hawaii said that the hook of the Manaiakalani came from the Maui.
Thereafter we sang our song He Honore. While everyone was singing He Honore the people on the beach was giving everyone a Hongi. After we finish singing we sang the last song Nga Waka.
Finally it was all over and the person on the ground said that two thousand kids had to go on the beach and hi- five every one. At the end of the hi-fiving all the school went back to school.
