Four hours ago, it was as long after 4 a.m. as it was before 4 p.m. the same day. What time is it now?
Answer
2 p.m. The halfway point between 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. is 10 a.m., but that was 4 hours ago. Thus, 10 a.m. + 4 hours = 2 p.m.

Kai Oranga – kaupae tuawhā
Course introduction and outline
Welcome to this important kaupapa in these interesting times! Times when ensuring you, your whānau and your community has kai security, kai sovereignty and the knowledge and skill to make that happen, is becoming more important than ever. This course will help you achieve that.
Hua Parakore – the overarching framework
The topics of the course are explored through the hua parakore principles.
Literally, hua parakore means ‘hua’ or ‘fruit / produce’ without contamination. This is much broader than no pesticides or herbicides.
Hua parakore is a kaupapa Māori based framework for growing kai, developed by Te Waka Kai Ora, the Māori Organics Authority. It is also a verification system for growers. Although developed with growing kai in mind, it is also a framework for living, consistent with a Māori world view - living as part of the interconnected web of whakapapa from Ranginui and Papatūānuku. The framework consists of six principles – whakapapa, mana, mauri, te ao tūroa, māramatanga and wairua.
Te reo Māori
You do not need to speak te reo to do this course! We will learn and use kupu (words) in our classes as we go and after a while you won’t even realise, you’re using them – it will just become normal. All assessments require the use of appropriate kupu Māori so it’s a good idea to keep a note of them in a notebook. We will learn appropriate karakia for different occasions which will always be explained. We will learn at least one waiata, appropriate to the course, and if we have keen singers/guitar players then we can learn more!
Aromatawai / assessments
There are 11 assessments, most of which are made up of a number of bite sized parts. All assessments except one can be done in a group or individually – your choice. I encourage you to work together to enrich your learning and to make your lives easier. We will work through all assessment topics in class and complete as many as possible in class time as well. I do not believe personally that assessments are the be-all and end-all of learning. They are however necessary to prove to the funders of the course that the content has been taught successfully. The Law of Nature says you must give what you take. In Māori we would call it utu or reciprocity. Completing the assessments and the course is our way of reciprocating for it being provided free of charge, and our way of paying it forward for those who want to do the course in the future. None of the aromatawai are hard as the course is level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework – university level work is not required!
I will collect the bite-sized parts of assessments as we go, so we don’t have a big panic at the end. Please send things to me by email if at all possible Georgianne.crawford@wananga.ac.nz.
Kaupapa (themes / topics) we will cover
The course is organised into four kowae ako or groupings and the kaupapa are listed below in this way. However, the threads of all four are woven together as we go rather than being addressed in a linear fashion. In this way we model what we are learning ie everything is connected, and it wouldn’t make much sense for us to leave planting the maara until last!
