    Kia Ora, 


    This week we will be looking at paper planes ( in collaboration with PE ) and this will lead us into orbits in space. 

    As per usual, slides will be released on Google classroom during Session 1 at 8.30am. Follow the instructions and complete the assigned tasks outlined in the slides. This has all 3 sessions for the week so pace yourselves accordingly.

    Plan for the week is as follows

    Session 1: Paper plane activity in P.E and learning about the science of paper planes ( I will touch briefly on the forces that act on paper planes ) 

    Session 2: Orbits in Space 

    Session 3: Sun-dial experiment. 

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the context of Space Race by adapting our understanding of objects in orbit to paper planes
    • We are FOCUSING on the context of Space Race by explaining the forces that act on paper planes and how this is linked to our P.E subject

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    Understand the science of paper planes ( aerodynamics and trajectory of paper planes) 

    Explain how objects travel in space 

    Activities:

    1. Paper plane activity 
    2. Sun-dial experiment
