Section outline



  • Kia ora.  Welcome back to week two. It was wonderful to meet you all last week and to see the 'mood boards' you created about your personal taonga.  This week we are moving out to wider Aotearoa.  We will be looking at what is treasured in New Zealand.  Some of the tings we identify may be specific to a certain place, community, culture or group but other may be something that all New Zealanders can agree are taonga.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Identify a taonga in New Zealand
    • Describe where the taonga comes from/is found
    • Explain why it is a taonga and name the group of people the taonga is associated with

    Activities:

    1. In groups of 2-3 brainstorm taonga in Aotearoa
    2. Select 2-3 taonga and research where the taonga is from/where it is present and which group of people treasure it
    3. Create an information page to inform others in the class about your chosen taonga


    Homework:
    Have a conversation with your family about what they think is taonga in Aotearoa.
