    • We are EXPLORING how language and messaging can be used to inform, to misinform, and to position people alongside particular values and perspectives.
    • We are EXPLORING relationships between events and identify continuity or changes in relationships.
    • We are EXPLORING people’s actions in the past based on historical evidence and taking account of the attitudes and values of the times, the challenges people faced, and the information available to them.

    Authentic Outcomes:  Science Fair and ‘Taonga of Aotearoa’ weaving/print-making exhibition.
    Theme: The importance of land/sustainability 
    Whakatauki: "Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua."
    Metaphorical: As people disappear from sight, the land remains. 
    Literal: This whakatauki speaks to the importance and permanence of land. While people come and go, the land remains. As humans we rely on the land. We must think long-term and see the big picture to ensure the sustainability of the land.
