Kualoa Ranch - Secret Island!

Our day on Hawaii's Secret Island - Kualoa Ranch!

Today we spent time at Kualoa Ranch's Secret Island! Once our bus dropped us off we had to take a boat to the Secret Island entrance. We wanted to start our experience by playing volleyball in the relaxing sand. Will's serves improved, and everyone enjoyed the time spent spiking and serving. We also crowded around as exciting games of ping-pong went back and forth. Whether you used accuracy, strength, or endurance, it was a great time for all!

After we played beach games we jumped into the water! Some of us tried stand up paddle boarding and some of us tried kayaking. We had so much fun seeing how many people could pile on top of one paddle board! We also traveled the seas looking for turtles and down at the coral. Swimming in this water was breathtaking!

 We traveled back from the secret island and we went to these awesome movie sets such as 50 First Dates, Jurassic World, the tv show Lost, and many more that filmed at Kualoa Ranch. We also went to a macadamia nut store & farm. We found a nut on the ground and smashed it and it tasted great! In the store there were lots of different flavors of nuts such as, cinnamon, caramel, and onion. We had a great time and we wish we could go back again!

Next was our group dinner where there were many choices that we could have at Loco Cafe, and the food did not disappoint! The seafood pasta was delicious, and the sight of the Loco Moco (a traditional Hawaiian dish) and the Ultimate Burger was amazing. Without the distractions of our phones we became more active with each other and had a ton of interesting conversations!

We can't wait to go snorkeling and hiking tomorrow! 
Aloha!

Our Day in Pearl Harbor!

Our Day in Pearl Harbor & Waikiki!  Blog by:  Victoria, Sienna, Maya, Hannah, Gabbi and Clarke We started off our day at the Pearl Harbor Memorial where we reflected and learned a lot about the great sacrifices that were made for our country. We learned that even over 4,000 miles away from Bullis we are still able to find connection. A former teacher, Mr. Alan Shapley who served in the Marine Corps on the USS Arizona survived the attack. He was blown off of the ship and saved two other individuals from the horrific scene. When he retired from the military in 1962 he taught Mechanical Drawing at Bullis.  It was a great connection between our school's history and the beautiful memorial! After watching a short documentary explaining why the attack happened and the aftermath, we were able to take a short boat ride to visit the memorial. We were able to reflect and respect the fallen heroes and the survivors during this time. We also had the opportunity to

Aloha! Welcome to our Bullis Middle School Global Studies Hawaii blog! We will be sure to update this page with lots of pictures and blog posts from our students while we are away. After a long flight we finally made it to Honolulu! We got settled in our hotel and took a walk around Waikiki to learn more about the area we will be staying in! We made a quick stop at the famous Waikiki Beach before heading to the pool for a pizza dinner and relaxation! Despite our exhaustion we all had a great time playing in the pool before heading back to get a good night's sleep! Today, we will visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial as well as some local government buildings! We are looking forward to our fun filled days here in Oahu! Stay tuned!
