Kia mau ki te Ūkaipō

Ko te whāinga o tēnei rauemi kia mātua tipu mai ngā tamariki katoa i runga i te mōhio ki te takenga mai o ngā ingoa wāhi hirahira nō roto o Hauraki, nō konā, tā rātou hononga ki te whenua. Mā tēnei te māramatanga pai ake ki te wāhi o Hauraki e whakatairanga, me te whakatairanga hoki i te mōhiotanga ki ngā hononga ki te whenua mō ngā ākonga, kaiako, whānau, hapū, me ētahi iwi anō hoki puta noa i Aotearoa whānui.

The objective of this resource is to ensure that all tamariki grow up learning how the significant place names within Hauraki were named and hence their connection with te whenua. This will promote a better understanding of the place Hauraki, as well as promote understanding of connection with te whenua for ākonga, kaiako, whānau, hapū, and other iwi across Aotearoa.

Kia mau ki te Ūkaipō was developed through the Ministry’s Te Aho Ngārahu fund. Te Aho Ngārahu was established in 2017 as an initiative to improve the access to quality te reo Māori localised curriculum resources to support ākonga, kaiako and Kāhui Ako learning in and through te reo Māori in both Māori medium and English medium settings.
