Special treasures and taonga

Term Three - Our Taonga - Our Treasure

This term our learning concept is Our Taonga - Our Treasure. The enduring understandings are

A taonga is a gift, belief or belonging that is treasured

and

Sacrements of the Church are treasured gifts from God.

We are exploring those understandings through the following essential questions:

1. What is taonga?

2. What is treasure?

3. How can taonga be created.
