Through the experiences of kaiwhakahaere māra kai Lionel Hotene and the wider marae community, the text highlights how gardening, food, and whakapapa are central to wellbeing, learning, and connection. The narrative explains how the marae transformed from a small tin shed into a thriving māra kai, seed house, and community hub grounded in Māori values and sustainable practice. By introducing concepts such as hua parakore, seed saving, and food redistribution through projects like Kai Ika, the text shows how traditional knowledge and modern innovation work together to support people and the environment. Rich, hopeful, and community-focused, the text supports students to understand culture, sustainability, and leadership through lived experience and voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1318\" data-start=\"1036\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy, science, health, and social sciences, supporting inquiry into food systems, cultural identity, environmental responsibility, and community action in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three lesson overviews focus on:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComprehension and inferencing\u003c\/strong\u003e, supporting students to locate information, make meaning, and draw conclusions from the text;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe author’s use of language and structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, exploring how word choice, sentence structure, and text features shape meaning; and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor’s purpose and themes\u003c\/strong\u003e, encouraging students to think critically about ideas, messages, and viewpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1376\" data-start=\"1320\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1341\" data-start=\"1320\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 3\u003cbr data-end=\"1352\" data-start=\"1349\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1367\" data-start=\"1352\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1645\" data-start=\"1378\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1407\" data-start=\"1378\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 3–4):\u003c\/strong\u003e reading for meaning and critical thinking, analysing author perspective and voice, understanding explanatory and informational texts, synthesising ideas from multiple sections, exploring vocabulary related to culture and sustainability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1825\" data-start=\"1647\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1674\" data-start=\"1647\"\u003eScience – Living World:\u003c\/strong\u003e living things and their environments, sustainable practices, food chains and ecosystems, human impact on the environment, composting and soil health\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1946\" data-start=\"1827\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1861\" data-start=\"1827\"\u003eHealth and Physical Education:\u003c\/strong\u003e wellbeing, nutrition, community participation, relationships, identity, resilience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2141\" data-start=\"1948\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2001\" data-start=\"1948\"\u003eSocial Sciences – Aotearoa New Zealand Histories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Māori knowledge and practice, urban marae, continuity and change, community leadership, identity and belonging, collective responsibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2254\" data-start=\"2143\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2157\" data-start=\"2143\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-fiction, informational text, cultural narrative, biographical profiles, explanatory report\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2758\" data-start=\"2256\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2278\" data-start=\"2256\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aotearoa New Zealand histories, compost, community, culture, family, food systems, food scraps, gardening, health, hua parakore, kūmara, kai, Kai Ika project, māra kai, Māngere, marae, Papatūānuku, Ranginui, Rongomātāne, whakapapa, tikanga, te reo Māori, sustainability, seed saving, urban marae, urbanisation, vegetables, relationships, whānau, wellbeing, environmental stewardship, kaitiakitanga, recycling, organic growing, traditional knowledge, leadership, collective action\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45601914257606,"sku":"SJL3 June 2024: The Extraordinary, Hidden World Kōkiri Marae Lesson Overview Packs","price":5.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/SJL3_June_2024.png?v=1747458739","url":"https:\/\/theresourcecupboard.co.nz\/products\/sjl3-june-2024-the-extraordinary-hidden-world-kokiri-marae-lesson-overview-plans","provider":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
