Term Two Week Five

Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua

As people disappear from sight, the land remains

Kia ora, we are halfway through the term, and by now you should be well underway with your landmark research.  The first landmark we completed will take the longest, as you are getting to grips with the skills you need to use, but I hope that as you continue, the process will become easier and easier.  I know some of you have completed the second landmark and can now select the third and fourth landmark based on the task requirements you have been given in Global Studies.  Remember, you need to have visited four countries/landmarks with at least one in each hemisphere.  This week, you are going to continue your research and also send a postcard from Paris or London. Please take your English books home on Monday so that you can continue recording your research while you are rostered home - this would be a great time to get up to date with your postcards and research!
