    This week

    Kia ora whanau,
    Nau mai, haere mai!  I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing and restful break.

    Have you ever wondered about the giant stadiums, the dazzling lights, and the roar of the crowd at the Olympics? It's not just about the athletes! Today, we're starting a journey to explore the hinengaro ohaoha (economic thinking) behind this massive global event.

    Get ready to whakarongo mai (listen up!) and whakaarohia (think about) how countries make choices and use resources to participate in the Olympics. We'll be like kaitiaki māpō (map detectives) using maps to track the Olympics around the world. We'll even whakatau (decide) how countries can work together for a sustainable future!

    So, buckle up and get ready to discover the fascinating economic world of the Olympics!
