A seashell - by Tupuna Jessie

A seashell lies over the beachside

A seashell lies over the sea

A seashell lies over the ocean

So bring back my seashell to me.

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my seashell to me

Bring back bring back

Oh bring back my seashell to me.

Taku tua i taatai - na Yvette Turua

I te Monite kua kite au e tai papaka

I te Ruirua kua kite au e rua eke

I te Ruitoru kua kite au e toru ika

I te Paraparau kua kite au e a poti

I te Varaire kua aere au i te koi poreo

I te Maanakai kua aere au i te tautai ika

I te Tapati kua aere au i te pai tai.

Fun at the beach - by Tivaknoa Solomone

I like going to the beach because I like having picnics and I like having a swim at the beach too. I like to eat apples and oranges and plenty sandwiches.

Fun at the beach – by Heath Heather

The beach is fun because my family likes swimming in the sea. We play fun games and my brother gets the beach ball out of the car and we play volleyball.
