  • Join Greta Dromgool from the Science Learning Hub and Yvonne Taura (Ngāiterangi, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Hauā, Ngāti Uenuku, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) as they explore mātauranga resources related to the Living World.

    The Hub has a growing collection of articles, activities and interactives related to mātai koiora/biology. In this session we will discover resources on topics such as ngā hekaheka/fungi, ngā pepe/moths and rongoā that have been designed to build your knowledge and confidence to incorporate mātauranga Māori into your teaching. Several of these resources are available in te reo Māori.

    I am teaching in a wharekura, this was great help.
