`Field trip to Ku'u Home Kulaiwi
Our students got to experience what it's like to be a "Mahi'ai" or a Hawaiian farmer. At the lo'i, they got down and dirty in the mud cutting the diseased "lau/lu'au" so that new ones can grow. There was also "Ulu Maika" that they played which is a traditional Hawaiian game where the objective of the game was to roll a pohaku (rock) in between two sticks. This was usually played during Makahiki (ancient Hawaiian new year festival to honor the god Lono.) Another fun activity was the making of "Apo Lima" hand woven lauhala bracelets as well as learning how to pound their own pa'i'ai or poi. from Kalo.
Field Trip to PCC
What an experience our students got visiting many islands of the South Pacific! They learned about the different cultures, traditions, music, and dances of Oceania and how they are all connected.
