Term 1 Week 2

Kia Ora ākonga, 

Unfortunately this week will look a little different. I will be working from home so like our topic - we must continue to adapt. I will set up work through google slides on google classroom. Each slide will have commentary as I have embedded my instructions within it to hopefully make it more clear ( and so it still feels like I'm sort of there with you all :) ) 

We will also be trialling out flipgrid. I've had positive feedback a from you all through all your video responses last year and this utilises this format effectively. 

Below is the structure for this week: 

Session 1: This is a chance for me to get to know you better. You will complete a science introduction video on flipgrid as well as some questions in your book. This is followed by the brainpop activity assigned on your dashboard. 

Session 2: Group activity through flip grid - complete your video responses on the 'alien attack' topic and submit this. This will be followed by a drawing and brainstorm activity in your books.

Session 3:  You will be watching an episode of Magic School Bus and completing questions re this in a google doc. Submit this once done. 

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING our context of the Great Outdoors by observing the different features that animals have and how these help them survive in their environment
• We are EXPLORING our context of the Great Outdoors by connecting features that animals have to different environments

Success Criteria: I can

• describe what features are and identify some on different animals. 
• begin to see how animals have certain features depending on the environment they are in.
