Today I was learning about resilience from a famous man called Bernard Mangakahia. Bernard and his father in law called Pat Mathers climbed the highest mountain in East Africa. It was almost 6000 meters tall and it was called Kilimanjaro. He was so resilient when he was a kid that he was playing with fire sticks and hit himself on the head but this didn't stop him. His hero was his great grandma called mere.He told us how to do a one handed clap.Travel around the world like Bernard Mangakahia. One way to show resilience is to practice and you'll get better and better. In the 1800's the black ladies were not allowed to sit in the front seat only the back. A lady called Rosa Parks stood up for other people and sat in the front seat and did not move to the back so she inspired the other ladies by sitting in the front seat. So one lady did it and a another lady did it. Bernard taught us a dance that was a Samoan Sasa. We had to slap our self on the knee and thigh. A shocking thing that made me surprised was that Bernard's dad was in the New Zealand... Army for twenty years.
Bernard gave us a challenge. The challenge was about being brave and resilient and just try your best.
