Aloha kakou,
I’m back! This time I’m blogging about our Bishop Museum field trip that we went to today. The first thing we did at our field trip is that we went to the Hawaiian Hall. Auntie Lokomaika’i talked about the different types of the wa’a and i’a. Second we ate in the back of the museum. Third we went to the new garden. Fourth we went back to the Hawaiian Hall’s second floor. Sorry I think I forgot to tell you the first time we were in the hall we were on the first floor. Back to the subject. On the second floor we talked about the different moon faces and what they were used for, weapons, fishing and planting. Then we left.

I learned that people used to trade for our stones because they were good for fighting and they were strong stones.
September 27th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I learned that the dig part is about we look at our activitise and we look at the binder to see what our activitise were use for like our activites was fishing tools and one of them was called a loaf of bread and it helps the hawaiins to fish because it helps it sink.Our other activitise were a taco catcher and the hawaiians use it to like when they put it in the water the taco gets atracted to the shell then it bites it then they relle it in.I wonder if they relle it in fast becuse they might let go.
I notice that the tools were like the old tesstimint was like the hawaiians use the things that they found and the new tesstimint is like they buy it from a tool store.

If you get to close to a black hole, would you get sucked in? How did the stars, moon,weather and waves help the ancient Hawaiians navigate?
September 27th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
We had so much fun at the Bishop Mueseum. We learnd about the differant kinds of wa’a it was so fun we had to write about them too. We went to the planetarium and seen all the stars. There also had a black hole.

An important thing I learned was how our ancestors travelled in the ancient times. They rode in the wa’a. They used hoku, the waves, the moon, the wind and the fish to guide their way (navigation).
I wonder why the moon changes.
It was an important huaka’i for us to learn about Hawaii and our ancestors. It was also important to learn about Princess Pauahi.
Thanks for a good field trip!
