Term 3 Week 6

Kia Ora ākonga, 

This week we are moving on to the Menstrual Cycle ( Mate Marama )  .  I have attached the powerpoint for the week on Google classroom , please make sure to go through this during our normal science sessions and complete the work set out for you. I have also added an additional slide on Te Āo Māori ( Māori view) on the topic. 

Remember, although we are remotely learning this topic,  I would still to create a safe space around this topic as I understand it can be difficult or embarrassing to discuss. If you have any questions or concerns that are appropriate and relevant to this context then please do not hesitate to email me:) 

Week 6 lockdown work is outlined as follows: 

Tuesday (Session 1) - We have our google meets. Quick revision on female reproductive parts, video on the cyle and 2 activities on Brainpop and Ed.Perfect ( choose 1 of these to complete) 

Thursday (Session 5) - Slides 11-23  on the powerpoint. This will be on the breakdown of each stage in the menstrual cycle. Activity: You will complete the timeline sheet that is on google classroom. 

Friday (Focused Friday ) - Menstrual Cycle Storyboard . Document is on G-classroom along with the slides.  

I have also put a link to last year's CAT exam. Make sure to attempt it so you are familiar with the structure and type of content you are likely to get this year. Submit it to me so I can give you feedback and you can see what areas you need to work on. 

Any questions , feel free to email me 

Arohanui, 

Ms. Katafono
