Term 3: Week 8

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on identifying and describing current event issues (before and during) the commonwealth games.

Kia ora class,

This week we continue our focus on identifying and describe issues related to the impact of the Commonwealth Games on Birmingham for the first lesson.

In the second and third lessons, we will focus on female representation in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022. The role of women in societies across the globe is vital to humanity. From a te āo Māori (Māori world view) perspective women are referred to as whare tangata (the house of humanity), recognising the vital roles women play in providing life and nurturing future generations. Women are respected for their ability to create life, so they are treated with the same consideration as Papatūānuku, the creator of all life. Here is a whakatāuki that will guide our view of the role women played at the Birmingham 2022 event.

'Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine Ahuone' - Pay homage to the essence of womanhood.
