Once upon a time kahu was chasing sissy and trying to get her to do her jobs. Nan said stop doing that and come help me with this job. Nan kahu said why dose sissy always run away when its time to do jobs? well we all do our parts to help, I guess said kahu. Then sissy whizzed past and Nan caught sissy and said you to stay here. Out of the corner of there eyes the saw a kete and when they opened it Nan tuned to coal. hello said Potiki I am the last flaming finger nail of mahuika.

ANZAC Day

We have ANZAC Day to honour the soldiers that fought for us. we remember that they risked their lives for us. On ANZAC Day we go to dawn parades at memorials to commemorate the soldiers . We wear poppies because they were the first flowers to grow on the battle fields after the war. We also wear our ancestors medals, sing and say prayers.
