I nga Harirei

I nga harirei 2 weeks after tauhou my whanau and went swimming at lee valley in Brightwater.

Because Mum wanted to swim somewhere else instead of the usual spot at Maitai The Blackhole

or Tahunanui Moana because of the flooding in the sewage pipes. It was a very wera day so Mum

went to Brightwater. As we arrived there alot of the locals and Travellers went swimming there.

 I haere ahau ehoa haere ki te kaukau my mum said. My whanau and I made some friends well

my mum did with a few wasted people and alot of the kids as well.   While we were there we ran

to the cliffs and we saw that we could run and jump off into the River. Soon the sun started going down

and the water started going cold. After a long day of swimming the water had cooled me down.

Now I was shaking in my warm fluffy towel. We left Lee Valley and started driving home.

Good narrative Canaan.  Now for a web picture.   Need to get on with the next topic.  BW

    

 Kapa haka ,Turangawaewae Festival

 On 8th of March the Whanau classes sang songs to the people that came to enjoy the food and singing. We sang Utaina, E Te kokara,  Manawamai, Anei ra te Kura and Haere mai nga iwi.

Over all that was a fun day.

Lee valley

Lee Valley is a great scenic place, also good to have a picnic with family and friends.The water is refreshing and just waiting to cool down sweaty hot kids.  It is a great place to stop and rest

Did you know?
The Aniseed river and Lee river join to make Lee valley but the Aniseed river is colder.

Now for a picture, Canaan.
