Our context is, Infinity and Beyond!

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING how the forces around us impact everyday situations.
• We are EXPLORING how simple machines can be used to affect forces
• We are EXPLORING how forces and motion have been used to help children play and have fun.

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on applying our forces and motion knowledge.

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
