Term 2 Week 3

Kia ora Year 7s, this week we are changing tack slightly - I wanted to do climate change this week, but given the changing date of your assessment, we are going to be changing around our planned curriculum. We will do everything as planned, but right now, our focus is instead on oceans, ocean life and how they are responding to human activity. Is our way of life sustainable?
