Gum\u003c\/strong\u003e by Paul Mason is an informative non-fiction text that weaves natural history with human experience to explore the rise and impact of the kauri gum industry in Te Tai Tokerau Northland during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through clear explanation and historical examples, the text describes how resin from ancient kauri trees became kāpia, how it was used by Māori for practical purposes, and how it later became a valuable export for making varnish. The narrative explains why thousands of people travelled to the gum fields, including Dalmatian migrants, and reveals the tough conditions diggers faced while working in swamps and muddy ground. By tracing the growth and decline of the gum trade, the text also highlights its lasting environmental and social effects, including land damage and the spread of introduced plants such as gorse. Informative, visual, and grounded in real history, the text supports students to understand how industry, environment, and community are closely connected through lived experience and voice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages

Gum\u003c\/strong\u003e by Paul Mason is an informative non-fiction text that weaves natural history with human experience to explore the rise and impact of the kauri gum industry in Te Tai Tokerau Northland during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through clear explanation and historical examples, the text describes how resin from ancient kauri trees became kāpia, how it was used by Māori for practical purposes, and how it later became a valuable export for making varnish. The narrative explains why thousands of people travelled to the gum fields, including Dalmatian migrants, and reveals the tough conditions diggers faced while working in swamps and muddy ground. By tracing the growth and decline of the gum trade, the text also highlights its lasting environmental and social effects, including land damage and the spread of introduced plants such as gorse. Informative, visual, and grounded in real history, the text supports students to understand how industry, environment, and community are closely connected through lived experience and voice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:27ec4af7-a7a7-42ec-8834-43a6392dc4fa-29\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-60\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"f2f3d7e4-c123-49fe-a766-c8a059ebec90\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"streaming-animation markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy, social sciences, and science, supporting inquiry into local history, migration, environmental impact, and continuity and change in Aotearoa New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack contains a range of structured literacy activities including\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpelling rules ck \/ dge \/ drop the e \/ y as a consonant or vowel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSounds of -ed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring parts of language -

text that weaves real-life experience with scientific explanation to explore how trained dogs help find lost and missing people across Aotearoa New Zealand. Through first-hand observation and clear description, the text follows Roxy, a search dog in training, and her handler Jana as they practice locating hidden people using scent. The narrative explains how a dog’s sense of smell works, why it is much stronger than a human’s, and how scent trails can be followed over time and across different environments. By combining storytelling with diagrams, photographs, and factual detail, the text shows how search dogs are prepared for real emergencies and how teamwork between humans and animals can save lives. Informative, engaging, and hopeful, the text supports students to understand science and community service through lived experience and voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis pack contains wide range of response activities including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA guided reading plan exploring key literacy elements including inference and deduction, language use, making connection and text organisation, along with key questioning to promote emotional intelligence, metacognition and compassionate inquiry. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn independent learning contract complete with explainer videos for activity clarity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wide range of response activities to support developing and embedding key literacy skills including sentence and word work, spelling, and cloze activities. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1211\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 2\u003cbr data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 2–3):\u003c\/strong\u003e reading for meaning and enjoyment, identifying key ideas and facts, understanding informational and report texts, interpreting visual information, building topic-specific vocabulary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003eScience – Living World:\u003c\/strong\u003e senses and survival, animal adaptations, human and animal biology, habitats, observation and investigation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1663\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eHealth and Physical Education:\u003c\/strong\u003e wellbeing, safety, teamwork, helping others, community roles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1813\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003eSocial Sciences – Aotearoa New Zealand Histories:\u003c\/strong\u003e community service, continuity and change, roles and responsibilities, identity and belonging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1829\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-fiction, informational text, explanatory report, case study\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"2314\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aotearoa New Zealand histories, search and rescue, Land Search and Rescue, SAR, volunteers, dogs, search dogs, scent, smell, senses, noses, tracking, lost people, missing people, rescue missions, teamwork, training, handlers, obedience, reward systems, problem-solving, science, adaptation, safety, community action, helping others, national parks, forests, rivers, survival skills, emergencies\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44635762884806,"sku":"SJL2 November 2024 Search Dog Literacy Pack","price":8.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/SJL2_November_2024-text_Page_01.jpg?v=1747536668"},{"product_id":"sjl2-november-2024-search-dog-structured-literacy-pack","title":"SJL2 November 2024 Search Dog Structured Literacy Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"14\"\u003eSearch Dog\u003c\/strong\u003e by Rebekah White is an informative non-fiction text that weaves real-life experience with scientific explanation to explore how trained dogs help find lost and missing people across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Through the perspective of Taylor, the story follows a child who worries deeply about smells, food, and unfamiliar situations as she prepares for her first sleepover at a friend’s house.

Through clear explanation and real-world examples, the text traces how wallabies were introduced from Australia in the late nineteenth century and spread rapidly in areas such as Kawau Island, the Rotorua lakes, Waikato, and South Canterbury.

The narrative shows how Izzy misses her dad and worries about her mum, who is an essential worker at a supermarket, while also highlighting the small moments of connection that bring comfort, such as class Zoom meetings and shared laughter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:27ec4af7-a7a7-42ec-8834-43a6392dc4fa-30\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-62\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"a2a55257-b713-4333-b0e8-9bcb3fede8d7\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"streaming-animation markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003eAs Izzy and her friends create a “club” for children who cannot see their whānau, the text explores resilience, kindness, and problem-solving through simple actions like writing letters, visiting teddy bears in windows, and planning surprises for others.
