Interview with Bill Kini

Bonus Activity: #EarnTheFern

QUESTION: Hi Bill, Tell us how did you feel when know you were the best heavyweight boxer? Please talk about your reaction at the time.

QUESTION; I understand it was very tough for you to keep training day in day out. What was your motivation?

QUESTION: Who did you dedicate your achievement to? Of course the country but was there someone that was special to you?

QUESTION: What do you do in your leisure or do you spend your life in boxing?

Day 2 Bonus Activity - My Favourite Meal

My two favourite dinnertime meals

The first meal I love is barbacued steak with two pinches of seasoning, extra vegetables and some rich sweet chilli sauce drizzled on top. Mmm delicious.


Seafood is always a pleaser for me. Especially pre-cooked prawns and half-cooked mussels.

Day 3: It’s All in the Family

Pros	How I feel growing up in a big family when we first arrived in New Zealand. Would I enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not? I have a small family, however, my parents grew up in a big families like the early settlers.	Cons
We support each other in the chores and everything. I would like to be the youngest so I don’t have to do so much work, however, I will have to do everyone’s *pui - meassge. It is not always pleasant. I will have to play with my own sibblings and don’t invite other friends over. We don’t have much toys and we make up our own games.		I live in a crowded house and will have to share every thing. I don’t have a room of my own. I shared with my sibblings. No privacy at all. I will work tirelessly everyday. I have to complete my chores before school. I will be too tired at school. Food is not much and it is shared with everyone. I don’t like it at times. Everything was a struggled, but I was statisfied with what I have because my friends were the same situation.
* -  Messages to be delivered to other people - example, pick up the washing,

Hitting a High Note…

My favourite waiata- Purerehua (butterfly)

I like this waiata because of the figuritive language that has been used in this song. He compared his daughter to a butterfly. What a lovely and fitting comparison.

Composers quote

"I wrote this song for my daughter whom I hope one day will grow up to be a beautiful free butterfly."

I am a child who wants to grow up and be just like that, “to be free like a butterfly.”
