Helping around the house

This morning my mum gave me, Nikau and Teina jobs to do.
My jobs on my list were:
* Make my bed
* Rubbish out
* Washing out
* Vacuum room
* Wash out Meow Meow's kai bowls
* Wash front windows
* Do a blog post

When we have done our jobs we are allowed to chill. I like helping clean because the jobs get done quicker.

 

 

Kaitiakitanga

Last night Nikau and I went out for a possum shoot along our road.
We went out on my dad's quad bike, and we chased the wild possums, hares and cats.
We chased this hare for 2 nights before we caught it. We shot 12 possums, 2 hares, and used lots of bullets. We used a 22 gun.

Another working day

We went out on the oyster farm again today. We left home at 6am today, so not as early as the other day. It was a long day, we got home at 4:30pm.
We made new rails where the old ones were, because they were rotting and falling over. I helped carry the wood to my dad, and me and mum slid the posts over to him through the water, for him to bang into the mud. He had to hammer them in with a post rammer.
When I didn't have a job, I had a swim, the tide was very low, and I made mud pies.

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone keeping fit!

Today I went for a bike ride around the Lake while mum, dad, and Nikau ran around it.
Then me and Nikau took our puppy Gypsy for a walk on the farm. She had a swim in this trough to cool down.

 

Working on the Oyster Farm

Today me, Nikau, mum and dad went to work on the oyster farm. My dad is still working because if he doesn't the oysters will die. Our farm is over in Te Tii, in Kerikeri. We had to leave home at 4:30am to get low tide, but we watched the sunrise. We clipped all our baskets onto the rails, then on the way back to the landing me and Nikau did some manu's off the barge. That was fun!

 
    

 

 

Our home Gym

Today we cleaned out my dad's little shed to make a home gym.
Me and Nikau swept the floor, my dad hosed it out, and my mum and Teina carried the equipment in.
Me and Nikau had to wear a mask because it was so dusty when we were sweeping.
I can do pull ups on that pull up bar.

 

Mahi at Home

Today me and Nikau did some of our school work at home because we are in lock down from the Corona Virus.
Then I did some crosswords my Aunty Ange sent me. They were fun.
