At Te Aho’s house.

On Saturday morning my family and I went to Te Aho's house in Okaihau for the holidays. When we got there I saw a lot of people there. I felt happy and keen. First my brother and I asked Te Aho and Komene if they could catch the horse for us to ride. He said, “Yes I will go and catch the horse for you.” Next they caught the horse for my brother and I.  Then we rode the horse. It was so fun riding the horse. Then Pimero came outside to hop  on the horse for a ride. She said, “It is so fun.” Finally we all went inside for a drink because we were thirsty.

I went to the park.

On Saturday morning  my  family and I  went to the park in Kaikohe to have fun.

I felt pumped and keen.

When we got to the park we saw heaps of stuff. I said, “Hmmm  what should play on first?”

The first thing I did at the park was play on the slide first. I felt happy.

The next thing I played on was the swing and I went high and high. I said, “I’m flying high like a plane.” I felt so much happiness.

After that we went to the fish and chip shop. We bought fish and chips for lunch. It was yummy and after that we went home. I felt like it was the best day ever.

On Saturday afternoon my mum, my brother and I went to kapa haka at Okaihau College because my mum helps the Okaihau College kapahaka group.

They really need to practice the haka, the haka powhiri and the poi. I felt happy and excited.

First I played with Tyla and Piimiroa. We played shoots. I got Tyla and Piimiroa out heaps of times. I felt great.

Next Tyla  Piimiroa and I played handball. It was fun because I was in the kings square heaps of time. I got them out. I felt great and amazing.

After that the kapa haka people had a break.
