Kia ora 7C2,
Welcome to Term 2. I hope that you've all had a wonderful break!
A reminder to refer to Google Classroom every week, for resources and further instructions.
We are beginning this term with a focus on ANZAC Day. I will discuss this in more detail on Wednesday. There will be cross-curriculum between English and Global Studies with a combined assessment for Term 2!
We will also have a focus on our geography skills this term. So as of next week, Monday and Tuesday will focus on Global Studies content and Wednesday will be our skills development, starting with an introduction to mapping skills next week.
FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:
- We are FOCUSING on understanding how formal and informal groups make decisions that impact on communities.
- We are FOCUSING on understanding that events have causes and effects
- We are FOCUSING on understand how people participate individually and collectively in response to community challenges.
This First World War inquiry will develop our understanding of how New Zealand’s military heritage has influenced, and will continue to influence, the identity of New Zealand and how others perceive us. We will be looking at specific events of the First World War and relate these understandings to modern-day New Zealand and how we now respond in times of war and peace. This inquiry will provide us with an opportunity to explore the role of this country in war and how that role determines the way the rest of the world views New Zealand.
Learning Intention: We are learning about the ANZAC's and ANZAC Day.
Success Criteria: I am able to explain the importance of ANZAC Day and the ANZAC's.
