Te Repo – wetlands as a context for learning
This is an edited recording of the webinar Te Repo – wetlands as a context for learning.
The content of this webinar links strongly to the Nature of Science, Living World and the Planet Earth and Beyond strands of the New Zealand Curriculum. However, by using repo as a context for learning educators can include ideas from all strands and show their learners how science and te ao Māori are working together.
Thank you for … all the resources. I look forward to digging into them more and making connections to our local repo.
