    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

      • We are EXPLORING the broad topic of food and culture as an introduction.
      • We are EXPLORING the relationship between food, culture, and diet, and the national dishes that reflect the cultural heritage of students in class.
      • We are EXPLORING the history behind the cacao bean and how the Spanish Empire controlled the production of cacao beans (and hence, chocolate) around the world. We will also explore unhealthy aspects of sports drinks.
      • We are EXPLORING traditional Maori foods and traditions that are associated with them such as the best times to eat and to fast according to Maori tradition.
