Term 2, Week 4

This term in Science, we are starting our new context Genetics Evolution & Tino Rangatiratanga

Tino Rangatiratanga is a Māori term for self-determination, control and decision making.  

So.. how are we going to apply this to Science? 

• Tino Rangatiratanga is being able to make choices, big and small, about things that matter to us, as well as having the control to shape the direction and conditions of our life is fundamental to the good life.
• Over the next few weeks, we are going to apply this by making choices about our learning, and keeping up to date with our Science as this is going to help shape the direction for this year and next year when you enter into college.
