Field Trip to He'eia Fish Pond

On Tuesday, February 5th, 2013, my classmates and I went on a field trip to the He'eia fish pond. What we did there was we got to eat the Akulikuli to cure our bodies. We got to listen Ms. Mahea and she told us 2 stories that became legends. The 2 stories were about a lady who can transform into anything, and there was a man who was a rougher, meaner and a really, reall strict person. What we also got to do was that we wemt to pick out mangroves out from the ground because Ms. Mahea had told us that if there are a lot of mangroves that are growing around the river that is not good because if there are a lot of them growing, then there won't be enough clean environment around. Then we did a scavenger hunt and we had to grab 5 mangroves, 5 pieces of trash, find brackish water, and draw 2 native plants. We learned a lot on that day and it was the best field trip.
