Aloha every one, I am TJ and I went with Te Ana Ako and Haumia to the Carbon's Estate to learn about how were drumming used in the past, how to say hello in  different cultures like Tongan, Fijian, Samoan, Hawaiian and many more. There were two workshops which was drumming and making leis. In the drumming workshop, there had to be like about ten  people taking turns with adults at drumming on the long logs, and the shark drum. And in work shop number two, we got to make our own leis, but you have to follow the same pattern which is flower, straw, flower, straw, flower, straw. And finally, we all came together to listen to the story, and we danced. We listened to a Hawaiian story. When we saw the bus, that means that we are leaving the Corbans Estate, and going back to school. Did you know that you don't just use drum's and drum sticks for music, you can also use it to send messages. Later bloggers.
