Why I love Hokitika.

Hi, I live in Hokitika. Hokitika is a great place when it’s not
in lockdown. When you live by the beach like me, you can do
a lot of things like surfing, swimming, building huts and lots
of other things. My whanau eats nearly all of our kai on the rocks on the beach if it’s not raining. We also go swimming
nearly every day if it’s not too rough even if it is quite big.
Lots of people in Hokitika eat fish and chips on the beach.
I love Hokitika.

Nā Coco!!!

Inanahi ko te huritau o tōku tuakana, Poppy. I haere tōku whanau ki
runga i tētahi eke paihikara no te mea ko te rā tuatahi o te level toru
me he pai ki a matou. He tino roa te eke paihikara engari he tino
ataahua hoki. I paihikara tōku whanau ki runga i te ara i ahu ata ana ki
te roto o kaniere. I te tae mai matou ki te roto ka kauhoe matou na te
mea he tino wera matou. I kauhoe matou ki tētahi kohatu tino nui i roto
i te wai. I muri i te kauhoe i inu matou i nga tiakareti wera. He tino
reka te tiakareti wera katahi ka hoki atu ki te eke paihikara. I haere matou ki te ara i haere ki tōku motoka. Ka tere rawa te ra ka tere ana
matou ki te kore e hiahia ki te eke i te po. I paihikara au ki te taha o
tōku pāpā. I paihikara a Poppy ki te taha o tōku mahanga, Grover. He
tino pai te eke paihikara.😜

ki a Aroha “Aroha, kaore au i te mohio kei hea tōku whare!”. Ka kī a Aroha
“Aue Rika, whai mai i ahau”. I haere a Rika raua ko Aroha ki te whare o Rika.
I korero a Rika “kia ora Aroha, ko koe te tino te hoa pai rawa atu o te ao”. Ka kī a Aroha “ehara i te mea nui".

Te eke paihikara

Inanahi i haere mātou ko tōku pāpā ko Grover ki te eke
paihikara. Tuatahi i haere mātou ki te Tambo ki te taha o te
moana. I rongo mātou i te rongo o te whatitiri. Tuarua i haere
mātou ki raro i tētahi piriti. I muri i tīmata te ua. I muri i te
haere ki raro i te piriti i eke paihikara ki runga i tētahi rori.
I te waenganui o te eke paihikara i tīmata tētahi āwhā. Kei
