♥♥♥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.

♥♥♥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.

The story is about a basketball game in 1965-66. The name of the school is Texas Western College. Their Coach Don Haskins is the first coach to field a starting line-up of Black and White. Coach Don spoke to the black people who would like to play basketball. There is a basketball training season beginning; they had lots of training on court. Coach said to Bobby Joe Hill you'll play basketball my way. My way is hard. Bobby Joe Hill told him do you want me to get you a skirt? I'll get you a skirt if you keep playing like a girl!. But the coach gives them lots of running and they didn’t listen to the coach. He had learnt through personal experience that African American players were given an equal opportunity to play in college. The black people went to the party without their coach. When they got there, they said they looked like a Mexican but the Mexican people don’t like their colour or voice. Next morning the black players were so tired. But their coach knew what was going on. Both African American and white players showed great teamwork and many acts of great courage. They played the semi-final but it was tied. The other teams coach always called Time out! Before the final, Don rang the boys to come to the court, he decided to play just his 7 black players in the final game. Next day they played against Kentucky. Later Willie Cager’s mum asks his coach to please let her son play for even if its 5 minutes or 5 seconds. He was one of the best players. In the end they won the championship against Kentucky. The coach was happy and proud of his players on his team.

Then we finished our dinner we went back to our rooms and had showers.

After that I went to the girls room and played games then we all went to bed.
On Sunday morning we got ready to go to Sylvia park.

When we arrived at Sylvia park we watched a movie called Harry Potter and the order of Pheonix. Other people watched a movie called die hard 4, also we got something to eat from there. We watched the movies, but it was slow and sometimes there was no action. Other people waited for us, we got out of the movies.

We walked back to the van and waited for Whaea Sheridan but the kids went to the toliet.

At 1:50pm when we got to Mt Smart Sadium, then we got our ticket from Ruben Wiki. We found our seat and there were over 25,000 people, but it was exciting and an experince of Life time. I felt overwhelmed by the enormous crowd that was surrounding me. The Warriors played against Manly Sea Eagles.

We were barracking to all the Warrior players, it was fun and a happy day. When the game finished they won by 36-14. At 4:00pm we saw TK from Shortland Street then we went to meet Ruben Wiki and then other players but we didn't get to see all the other players.

My mum took some photo's of Ruben Wiki with me. He gaves us some Autographs too.
After that we went to KFC in Whangarei for dinner, we all slept all the way home, we were so tired. At 12:45pm we got into Te Hapua.
