    Winning starts with beginning!

    Kia ora. This week we are going to unpack and start our Term 1 Assessment task.  We are doing a shared Global/English assessment so you will demonstrate your understanding of the content (context of Taonga) through Global Studies, and your understanding of poetic techniques though English.  I really like the whakatauki this week - winning starts with beginning, so the earlier you start your assessment task, and the more time you put into it, the more successful you will be.
