Discovering Aotearoa New Zealand - Yrs 4-6: Bk 2

Our lives in this motu

The Discovering Aotearoa New Zealand series supports our tamariki to learn more about the history of Aotearoa and its relevance in their lives.  

In completing the activities within this primary school resource, students | ākonga become more aware of their own sense of identity. Importantly, the activities also develop inquiry and analytical skills that ākonga will need to tackle the societal challenges they will face in their future.  

This second book supports those in Years 4 to 6 to examine how our government is elected and its role in our lives, as well as how we use the land and what we have done to protect it. It offers imaginative activities designed to engage ākonga in the Aotearoa New Zealand history curriculum while also developing their literacy and numeracy skills.
