Term 2 Week 6+7

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on each of the stars within the Matariki cluster and what they represent
• We are FOCUSING on the star Ururangi and identifying how they are linked to wind to explain how wind is created, how wind is harnessed to create wind power and adapting this to develop our own wind powered object.
• We are FOCUSING on describing the processes within wind and extreme weather events

Kia ora ākonga, 

Because we have a fairly short week this week, for the next 2 weeks we will be looking at finishing of our water cycle and EP 'oceans and sustainability competitions on EP, and move into the next star in the Matariki cluster which is Ururangi ( wind ) and start on our scientific methods. 

Plan for week 6 is as follows: 

Monday: Queen's Birthday ( public holiday ) 

Tuesday: Teacher Only Day ( no school ) 

Wednesday: Finish the oceans and sustainability EP competition, look at 4 types of precipitation and what is wind. 

Thursday: (Away) - You will be completing the Water cycle, Tides and Wind segment on Brainpop 

Friday: Same as Thursday's work for FFR 

Week 7 plan of the week is as follows: 

Tuesday: Wind vane experiment and worksheet. Start on movie: The boy who harnessed the wind ( with worksheet)

Wednesday: Movie: The boy who harnessed the wind (finish off) 

Thursday: STEM challenge: Creating a wind powered /Kite 

Friday: Scientific method for your experiment ( FFR) 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• • Describe types of precipitation 

  • Define what the star Ururangi represents

  • Investigate what causes wind 

  • Define pressure in relation to weather

  Explain what causes extreme weather events
