Told through the voice of a young narrator preparing for her mother’s unveiling, the story captures the rhythm of the day through timed moments of food preparation, travel, ceremony, and remembrance. Through rich sensory detail and gentle humour, Samuela shows how cultural practices such as sewing a tīvaevae, singing, and gathering together provide comfort and continuity after loss. The narrative honours the role of aunties, cousins, and whānau in guiding a young person through change, while highlighting how taonga and rituals hold emotional and spiritual meaning. Tender, vivid, and deeply personal, the text supports students to understand culture, identity, and healing through lived experience and voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy and health, supporting inquiry into family relationships, cultural traditions, grief, resilience, and wellbeing in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific.\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 - adverbs, adjectives, nouns, verbs etc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubling or not when adding -ing, -ed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloss rules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifying and naming suffixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifying and naming prefixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVowel teams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoot words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlling 'r'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagraphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwa words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost diagraphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-oo- and -oo- \/ -au and -ow \/ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard and soft c and g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon subordinating conjunctions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 3\u003cbr data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 6–7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 4–5):\u003c\/strong\u003e reading for meaning and critical thinking, analysing narrative voice and perspective, understanding reflective fiction, exploring descriptive language and imagery, synthesising events and themes, identifying author’s message\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1635\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eHealth and Physical Education:\u003c\/strong\u003e wellbeing, emotional awareness, relationships, resilience, coping with change and loss, support systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1809\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003eSocial Sciences – Aotearoa New Zealand Histories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pacific cultures and identities, continuity and change, family and community practices, cultural heritage, belonging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, personal recount, reflective narrative, cultural narrative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"2090\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cook Islands, tīvaevae, culture, family, whānau, grief, loss, unveiling, aunties, resilience, relationships, identity, Pacific, tradition, wellbeing, support, remembrance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44640376553670,"sku":"SJL4 June 2024 T_vaevae Structured Literacy Pack","price":5.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/SJL4_June_2024.png?v=1747986117","url":"https:\/\/theresourcecupboard.co.nz\/products\/sjl4-june-2024-t_vaevae-structured-literacy-pack","provider":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
