Baileys class trip to Hana

Last weekend Bailey's fifth grade class spent the night in Hana

at the Wainapanapa cabins.

The kids worked in a lo'i in Keanae, walked up to Fagan's Cross,

swam in Hana bay, visited the Wainapanapa caves, 

toured a heiau, and enjoyed some parent-free time :)

Packed and ready to go

This is the chant the kids learned for the trip.

It's a traditional Hawaiian chant "E Iho Ana"

E iho ana o luna
E pi`i ana o lalo
E huli ana na moku
E ku ana ka paia

The high will be brought low
The low will be lifted up
The islands will be united
The walls shall stand upright

This is the Oli Mahalo

the kids sing as a thank you 

ʻUhola ʻia ka makaloa lā
Pū ʻai i ke aloha ā
Kū kaʻi ʻia ka hā loa lā
Pāwehi mai nā lehua
Mai ka hoʻokuʻi a ka hālāwai lā
Mahalo e Nā Akua
Mahalo e nā kūpuna lā, ʻeā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā

The makaloa mat has been unfurled
In love, (food is/was shared) we share
The great breath has been exchanged
Honored and adorned is the Lehua
From zenith to horizon
Gratitude and thanks to our Akua
Gratitude and thanks to our beloved ancestors
Gratitude, admiration, thanks, and love
To all who are present, both seen and unseen
