(Background music throughout the video is soft guitar strumming and gentle melody. The animation visuals throughout use the weaving of flax of different shades of yellow and green, as a metaphor for the information. The background of the animation is a light cream colour.)
(Narrator starts and is a Māori wāhine with a clear and gentle voice.)
“Mā te ahurei o te tamaiti e ārahi i ā tātou mahi.
Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work.”
(Long rectangular shapes, representing strands of flax, filled with diverse photos of kaiako and children come into frame in a woven pattern and then move out of frame in a reverse movement.)
Each child’s unique learning journey is nurtured through strong bonds with whānau and
developed with the guidance of kaiako.
(A small green diamond shape appears representing a child. Rectangular shapes come into frame that build a weaving pattern representing the parent and grandparent to form a shape representing a family. Strands appear to the left of the family that represent teachers. The strands extend towards the edges of the screen and rotate moving outwards like a frame to reveal the home screen of the Kōwhiti Whakapae website.)
Kōwhiti Whakapae is an online resource to support your teaching practice as you weave opportunities for early learning for our mokopuna.
(The website scrolls down and then back up showing different sections of the website. The website design includes an image of a young girl and links to three focus areas: Social and emotional, Oral language and literacy, and Maths. The framing strands move inwards hiding the website design, then move apart and reveal the front cover of 'Te Whāriki', early childhood curriculum.)
Tested with the sector, Kōwhiti Whakapae will help you to realise the vision of 'Te Whāriki' as you weave an inclusive curriculum.
(Extra flax strands move in from the edges of the frame to create a horizontal/vertical woven pattern that fills the frame and 'Te Whāriki' cover fades out. The woven pattern moves out of frame to the left.)
It is built on the foundations of Te Tiriti o Waitangi; 'Te Whāriki' principles; inclusion; and nurturing identity, language and culture.
(One-after-another sections of flax weave to match each foundation as it is spoken to form a W-shaped design.)
To strengthen your valuable work as kaiako, Kōwhiti Whakapae supports planning and formative assessment in three areas of learning: social and emotional, oral language and literacy, and maths.
(3 diamond-shaped photographs of kaiako and children appear in the centre of the frame and then disappear. The social and emotional icon (small green V shape) appears on the left of the frame with text reading ‘Social and emotional’ below it. The icon for Oral language and literacy (four green diamonds surrounding a diamond space) appears in the centre of the frame, with text reading ‘Oral language and literacy’ below it. The icon for Maths (like a green three-stepped bar graph) appears on the right of the frame, with text reading ‘Maths’ below. A strand from the central icon extends down to the left and the camera pans down diagonally to follow. The strand stops in the centre of the frame and forms a diamond shape representing a child.)
This resource will help you enrich the learning context for all ākonga.
(A pattern replicating the original design of the family and teachers expands to fill the screen.)
Support you to notice and recognise their capabilities.
(The pattern fades, leaving several green and yellow diamond-shapes.)

(These diamonds are replaced by green diamonds of different intensity scattered across the screen, representing a learning journey over time. The scene moves out of frame to the left.)
…building your skills as you add strands of knowledge to your practice.
(The diamonds disappear and the shape representing a teacher appears in the centre of the frame. The shape builds, expanding up and out then scrolls up forming the top of a mountain/maunga made of the flax strands. The background darkens to deep green as if night is falling. White diamond shapes representing children appear one by one as stars in the sky above the maunga.)
“He taonga te mokopuna, kia whāngaia, kia tipu, kia rea.

(Text reading ‘Kōwhiti Whakapae’ appears centre at the top of the frame. Strands of flax begin to form the layers of a design representing the Kōwhiti Whakapae framework. The bottom strands are the W shape of the foundations. A text label is linked to the foundations with a thin line, reading ‘Foundations for Kōwhiti Whakapae’. Two darker green strands weave on above the foundations. A text label links to these strands, reading ‘Lay the groundwork’. A bright green strand weaves on above this with a text label reading ‘Notice, recognise and respond’. A final light green strand weaves on at the top of the design, with a text label reading ‘Child’s potential learning journey’.
All of the strands disappear and Te Poutāhū logo fades on in the centre of the frame. The music fades and the animation ends.)
