Well here's a useful one to get you started

Ka timu te tai, ka pao te torea, ka ina te harakeke a Hine-kakai.
The oyster catcher swims when the tide is ebbing and the flax of Hine-kakai burns.

Is the language actually written using the same alphabet as english or is that just an english version of the language?

I believe it is written using the Western Alphabet, simply due to the reason that until westerners arrived it wasnt written at all. I may be wrong! Not something i have ever thought about i have to admit !
