    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING... patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as movement of the NZ land mass and describe the effect of such forces by investigating volcanic sites around Auckland
    • We are EXPLORING... some living things in New Zealand are quite different from living things in other areas of the world by investigating Tane forest
    • We are EXPLORING... characteristic chemical and physical properties of a range of different materials by experimenting and connecting this to NZ's unique geology
    • We are EXPLORING... water, air, rocks and soil, and life forms make up our planet and by recognizing that these are also NZ's resources
