♥♥♥WHAKATAUKI♥♥♥

"Ma te huruhuru te manu ka rere"

"It is the feathers that enable the bird to fly"

"By her feathers, a bird may fly"

This whakatauki come from a cloak. Tainui Rutene and Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangi Kaahu was secretary sent the description to the nelson people of the special cloak, called “Ma te huruhuru te manu ka rere was made by a student of the Rangihinemutu Korowai Wananga of the Waikato. This feathered cloak or Kakahu is also a symbol of aroha and admiration of the people of Waikato Tainui for their faraway kin who have settled in the Nelson region. In Maori tradition the kakahu could also be a metaphor for friendship support and protection. The kakhu could also in the ancient days save a prisoners life. The Kakahu was worn to weddings or other special events.

♥♥♥FRICTION♥♥♥

What is Friction?

Friction is the force that happens when two things rub together.

Where is friction useful?

We need friction to move about.

Where is friction not useful?

When it causes wear and tear.

How do we reduce friction?

One way is to replace sliding with rolling. Other ways is to use air cushions and by streamlining.

♥♥♥TERM THREE POSITIVES♥♥♥

Playing basketball
I like playing basketball because we made it into the final.
The team I liked the most that we played against was the teachers team because one of the teachers were funny.
We can’t wait to play the basketball finals this Friday.

Going to the Warriors
We went to the Waiwera Hot Pools on the way to Auckland. In the morning we went to Sylvia Park and watched Harry Potter And The Order of The Phoenix. After that we went shopping. Finally it was time to go and watch the warriors.
It was an awesome game to watch because there were thousands of people and we saw some more of the Warrior players.
We also got to meet Ruben Wiki who we got the tickets from to go to the game. We wanted to meet all the rest of the team but we couldn’t because they were doing their exercises.

Rugby World Cup 2007
We are learning about the rugby teams and studying the different Pools which are A, B, C & D. It was exciting to watch parts of the rugby game. We watched the All Blacks because the All Blacks had lots of tries and conversions. I hope the All Blacks win the World Cup in Paris, France.

Black Civil Rights
We are learning about Black Civil Rights. I am learning about Martin Luther King. He was a great leader who a lot of people could learn from. We also had to do a Power Point Presentation about our own Black Civil Rights leader.


Maths
I like maths because I enjoy it and we have lots of puzzle competitions with other kids from Kaitaia College. Sometimes we have easy work for maths (e.g. Algebra, mode, mean, median).

Music
I really enjoyed music with Uncle Bundy, the instrument I like most is piano because it is fun on the piano using my fingers. I also like singing too.

Science
I enjoyed Science with Mr Bryan because he shows us how we use chemicals in good ways. I’m getting Merit and an achieved. Also I learnt my own words in Science work.

English
I see Mrs Whitehorn in Period two; it is exciting because she is always helping me make my writing better.

Speech Therapy
I like to go to Speech Therapy because I have lots of activities and I have to do lots of talking with Mr Tom Besson and Rererangi.

Maori
I like Maori because Sometimes I can speak in Maori. I have to do speeches in Maori every fortnight with my mum, and dad. Also I learnt Maori speeches with Whaea Sandra and Papachris in Kapa Haka.

♥♥♥KC Report♥♥♥

Period 1
We walked to maths class with Mr Yates, we did a little bit of maths work, and then we played some maths puzzles. Arihia and I was a pair so was Leanne and Beverly. Sandy was by himself. We finished our puzzles. Leanne and Beverly came 1st, Sandy came 2nd and Arihia and I came 3rd.

Period 2
After maths we went to English class with Mrs Whitehorn. We started our asTTle writing test. Leanne and I are writing about “A great day out?” But it’s impossible because it isn’t a good day, it will be raining and thunder in the afternoon. When we finished our test we have to make sure it makes sense then we hand it to Mrs Whitehorn. Matua Teimana told us we have to go to the Library because Uncle Bundy isn’t here today.

Period 3
We went to the library with Matua Teimana. We had to study science before our test in Period 4. It’s hard to remember everything. When we finished revising science, we read some books.

Period 4
My last period for the day at Kaitaia College is Science, we had two tests, one was Chemical Reactions and the other was Mountains to the Sea but I reckon they will be hard.

Period 5
Rererangi and I went to see Mr Tom Besson for Speech Therapy. I am learning about doing lots of talking through having conversations.
