Learned lots of new kupu hou (new words) in Māori class. Also, learned "kia...ai..". It means so that, in order that. It is also conditional, this thing needs to happen first, then this will happen.
Example:
Me haere au ki āku akoranga kia mōhio ai ngā mahi.
I should go to class so that I know the work.
Then in History class, learned about the Te Kīngitanga Movement. In 1858, the first Māori King was elected. His name was Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, a highly respected rangatira (chief) and his whakapapa (genealogy) was very high and connected many of the regions of the North Island. Therefore, he accepted to become the King. In Te Tiriti/Treaty class, we learned about the Waitangi Tribunal, Native Land Court/Native Land Act and the Principles of the Treaty, meaning not so much focused on the words exactly, but the spirit of it.
