I have been considerate this week by sharing my lunch with 
my friends and not putting down people.

I have been using common sense thru this week because I have been closing the door when i come into the class room.

1. The karakia is about Ruruku and how they want to be.

2. Its about climbing to heaven to seak to seek the mauri of Rehua Ariki.

3. Back in the olden days Te Huringa always placed in kapahaka nationals competition.

4. Kapa Haka was only to the people who were part of Te Huringa.

5. The mana of the roopu isnt new its from way back since nga mana teura tahi

So make it burn light up the tresure of tane let it grow fly were to the to the world of life natoroirangi is the won that prade to hes sister and they brang  him fire lava fire and the dragon ehrnt in the lava swimimg to her brother giving him lava cause he was up in the snow cold thats ehrn he prade to hes sisters.Back in the old days te huringa was in the frist nats and back in the day te huringa made it in and this whakaeke is about fire

All the Yr 8's from Te Roopu Reo Rua and Te Huringa Rumaki Reo went to James Cook to see what is like in there maori unit. We got welcomed threw a haka powhiri, then we got split up into groups so the could show us around the school. When we got there I thought it was a bad school that likes to fight. But now I think I am going to go there.

    spread out boys when the opposite team just scored,
    spread out boys when out coach just said,
    spread out boys after we just lost.
