Term 4 Week 5

Kia ora. Welcome to week 5.  Last week we watch the movie "Hidden Figures" and saw the time and place that space race occurred in.  This was a time of massive upheaval for America.  We are looking at how Innovation and Exploration create opportunities and challenges for people, places, and environments.  What challenges and opportunities did you see in the film?  Were these positive or negative for the environment?  What else was happening around the world during this time and how did this impact on the mood/will/focus of people?
