Connected 2022 Level 2 – Ki te hoe! - Let’s get going!
These Level 2 Connected resources explore themes of first arrivals in Aotearoa New Zealand, the naming of places, journeying by waka across the Pacific, and the cultivation of kūmara. It focuses on changes to the name of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa/Poverty Bay; on the skills, preparation, and knowledge needed to traverse the Pacific by waka; and on life in a papakāinga in the 1700s.
At times, the Connected themes require the introduction of concepts that students at this curriculum level may not be able to fully understand. What matters at this stage is that students begin to develop understandings that they can grow over time.
