Church youth group exchange trip
[page 2]
“Next week is our church youth group’s turn for the teretere,” says Ngāteinakore. “We will visit Mere’s church.”
“What will happen during the teretere?” asks Teāriki.
[page 3]
“We will sing our song together and then recite our verses,” says Ngāteinakore. “Our minister will go with us.”
[page 4]
“I want to go,” says Teāriki.
“Māui! Teāriki wants to come,” says Ngāteinakore.
[page 5]
“Great!” says Māui. “There’s one verse left. Here’s your verse, Teāriki.”
[page 6]
“Very good, everyone,” says Māui. “Ngāteinakore, when is our final practice for the teretere?”
“On Thursday the eighth of this month,” says Ngāteinakore.
“Mahiriki, at what time?” asks Māui.
“At six o’clock,” says Mahiriki.
“Good,” says Māui.
[page 7]
“I’m here, and so is my mum!” says Teāriki. “I have learnt my verse.”
“Great,” says Māui. “This is our final practice.”
[page 9]
“That was great. I really enjoyed our practice this afternoon,” says Māui.
“Me too,” says Teāriki’s mother.
“What time does everybody need to be here on Sunday?” asks Māui.
“Nine o’clock in the morning,” says Ngāteinakore.
“Very good, Ngāteinakore, says Māui. “Don’t forget, girls in white dresses and boys in white shirts and black pants. Don’t forget to bring some money for the bowl. We will leave here at half past nine.”
[page 10]
“This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
[page 11]
“Your singing was great! Your grandma would be so proud.”
[page 12]
“I love the lolly necklaces!” says Teāriki.
“Me too,” says Ngāteinakore.
