    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are PRIORITISING and ACKNOWLEDGING tangata whenua by learning our pepeha (in Te Reo).
    • We are IDENTIFYING physical and spiritual landmarks that are important to our whakapapa.
    • We are EXPLAINING our pepeha/whakapapa to our peers.
    • We are FOCUSING on the strong spiritual bonds Māori have with the land - Papatūānuku (the Earth mother).
    • We are FOCUSING on the Māori world view of taonga/treasures (such as land, soil and water).
    • We are FOCUSING on the Māori concept of kaitiakitanga (guardianship and conservation) of these taonga.
    • We are FOCUSING on understanding kaitiakitanga as a source of unity and identity for tangata whenua.
