    Kia ora, I hope your first week back of distance learning was not too stressful, and you now have a better idea of how you will be working within your home bubble.  I will be putting the big idea on MHOL, together with the success criteria and activities and any instructions you need. Google classroom will be used to distribute resources and for you to upload your completed work and we will all meet on Wednesday at 11 where you can raise any questions you have.  Please remember, you can email me at any time with questions I I will try and get back to you as soon as I am available.  I will set up a google slide show in google classroom for you to add your  district slide to, please don't overwrite another slide, you will have editing rights so can add an extra slide if you need one.  This week, we are going to look at geography - what does geography mean, what are map skills, and how can we develop our map skills. We will be focusing on how people make decisions about access to and use of resources.
