You will remember when you started on the Kōrinorino learning journey that your challenge was to to research and retell an aspect of your local history. To support your progression toward becoming knowledgeable about ngā ahurea me te tuakiri kiritōpū (culture and collective identity) and te tino rangatiratanga me te kāwanatanga (sovereignty, organisation, and government) we have set up three challenges, one each for ākonga in years 4-6, years 7-8, and years 9-10. Regardless of the phase of learning that you are in, the intention is that the challenges will help you progress in building your capability to use the social inquiry process.
Expanding horizons of knowledge and collaboration
Knowing I belong and advocating for self and others
Having a purpose and being empathetic and resilient
