    A warm welcome to all  my maths and science students in Y8W1.  

     The context for Maths and science for this term is  My place to stand here in Auckland (with Art specialist subject).

    I am attaching the photo of the class whiteboard with the learning intention and the success criteria and the tasks completed during session. Please copy this in your science exercise books and read through the classwork to retain information to create long term memory. I  will check your books and mark them.
