The word ‘water’
reminds me of the salty sea water.
One sizzling hot
day, me and my little brother Wesley and big brother Kensington went to the
beach. I went into the water. I drank some water because I was thirsty. The
water tasted very yucky. It was my first time to taste sea water. Now I know
that it is salty.
The I saw
something mysterious in the water. I asked my wonderful Dad if I could touch
it. He said “No”. I came out of the water. I was freezing… I wonder what that
mysterious thing was…

The word ‘waves’ reminds me of big waves.
It was a windy day
a Muruwai Beach. I was cold and playing in the sand. Suddenly I tripped and a
big wave caught me. It dragged me into the sea. I tried my best to swim back to
the shore, but I couldn’t. I was frightened. I was nervous. Luckily my dad saw
me and dragged me out. I was coughing and panting. My dad calmed me down and
then we drove back home safely.

The word ‘surf’
reminds me of my sister teaching me to surf.
One beautiful hot
summer day, me and my family went to Okahu Bay beach. My sister Deandra took me
to surf. After that my family had a picnic at the beach. It felt good. It was
fun at the beach. I enjoyed my sister teaching me how to surf.

The word ‘Conch’
reminds me of the beautiful shell that I have in my collection.
One hot summer day
I went with my family to Block House Bay. Me and my brother went swimming and
we had fun. Later I was walking and stepped on something. It was a conch shell.
So I picked it up and held it close to my ear. I heard sounds of the ocean from
the conch. At the beach the birds were chirping and the breeze was beautiful.
After that I took the shell home. I put it in my collection of shells. It
looked amazing.

for dinner and he cooked it. We all had a crab for dinner. It was delicious.

The word ‘fish’
reminds me of a tasty fish that Dad cooked one day.
One hot day Dad,
Edith, Motu and me went to Snails Beach. My Dad was catching fish. Edith was
dancing. Motu was going to crush the worm but a sea gull got it. Edith was
waiting for a turn and Dad got a fish and then Edith got one. We ate the fish.
Then we went home. Mum and Raena ate the fish too. So we had the fish again.

The word ‘waves’
reminds me of the time when there was a big storm at the sea.
One sizzling hot
day, me and my brother named Willie went to go fishing at Waitangi Bay. We went
to go catch an enormous fish but suddenly a horrible storm came and it was
coming fast. I screamed out “Willie! Willie! We need to go home. It feels like
a tornado”. So we ran towards home. Our mum was there to give us a lift home.
