He'eia Fishpond by: Keehan
Around 1955, a flood broke a big hole in the He'eia fishpond wall. Our job was to help them to fix the fishpond. The workers don't need to feed the fishes because when salt water meets fresh water it forms food for the fish to eat. The fishes like to swim against the tide. Fishpond in Hawaiian is loko i'a. Akulikuli is a native Hawaiian plant, that has electrolytes inside it. Noupaka Kahakai is a plant that if you rub the leaves on your goggles it wont fog.

When we went to He'eia Fishpond we put the rocks in the bucket. The rocks were used to help make the wall. We got to dry stack the rocks and then the workers would fill it in with coral. Then we went on a tour of the fishpond. We saw the makaha that they were building. A makaha is a gate designed to let fish in when they are small and trap them when they get bigger.
Kualoa Beach by: Freddie
At Kualoa beach we played old games of Hawaii. There was an ulumaika, ihe pa he'e, and moa pa he'e. The point of the game was to get these items through two sticks. On the beach I found four crabs on the sand. We didn't get to go on any canoes and I didn't go in the water. I liked that the sand was very soft!

At Kualoa beach park I had a lot of fun! First we went swimming in the beautiful water. I felt like the mountain was right next to me, and it was! After we went swimming we played Hawaiian games like boiling with round lava rocks.
