Discovering Aotearoa New Zealand - Yrs 4-6: Bk 1

What makes us New Zealanders

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.  

The first book for Years 4-6 focuses on how, when and why different migrant groups have arrived in this motu | country, as well as the challenges that they faced when they got here.  Both books offer imaginative activities designed to engage ākonga in the Aotearoa New Zealand history curriculum while also developing their literacy and numeracy skills. 

Ages: 8-11 | Pages: 64 | Code: 31261 | ISBN: 9781776559930
