A hundred year ago on the pacific ocean was a man called moehuri .

He sailed from Hawaiki on his waka.When he saw and he did a karakia .

A big shark came and helped him.That's how mangonui got its name.

Moehuri  lived on Rangikapiti pa and had lots of babies.

They made houses and planted kumara. Moehuri sunk the waka and it
became a home for the shark.
It was a tapu place

One sunny day, my family decided to go to the pools in Awanui.

We got ready and packed the car and then we got in.

We got into our togs, then we drove to the pools. We jumped in
the pool.  There were diving flippers and there were goggles.
We jumped in the water.

I had a good day because I like swimming.
