Corbans Estate Trip

Hi bloggers. Yesterday on 13th of November we went to the Corbans Estate on a school trip. It was in Henderson. We went there because we wanted to more about Pacific Islands and the Pacific Ocean.

Here is what we did.
We did 3 things, one was making flower necklaces called leis, another was drumming and the other was dancing. My favourite one was drumming because I have never drummed before.

First we got to know which drum was which. There were two kind of drums, the long and skin drum. I got to use the skin drum. Then we got to know what tune we needed to play.  We then started to play the drum. Then other people started to play. When all the people finished we finished the workshop.

I learnt how to use the long drum and skin drum. I also learnt that drums weren't for fun and were used for important messages in the kingdom of Tonga. but now there were used for entertainment and fun. We also how to make leis. It was 1-0-1 basic way to make flower necklaces and then you could make any kind of leis. We also learned a hula hula, which is the Hawaiian way to say Dance. I learnt how to say hello and bye in Pacific languages.

Here is a photo we took
