The term 1 context for Wai Whanau’s year 7’s was He Waka Eke Noa: We are all in this Together. Our main goal was to help the year 7’s find their place at Mission Heights Junior College, while exploring their own identity. In Maths we have been looking at scales/äwhata, measurements/inenga roa and unit conversions. In PEH we have been learning about movement concepts and motor skills in the context of orienteering/tiawhe ararau. For this task students will be using their orienteering skills and methods of approximating length to navigate/whakatere a course set up at Mission Heights.

The term 3 context is "Kia Kaha: Strength and Spirit of Aotearoa."
This term, we will focus on the changes that occur during puberty and how to safely manage these changes in a healthy and positive way. Students will take part in discussion groups and the end of lesson tests to assess their knowledge and understanding.
Students will also develop the skills needed for various athletics events in preparation for Term 4. As part of this, we will track and record our physical involvement, exploring the important connections between physical activity and wellbeing. Students will keep a logbook and evaluation to track their progress and activities.
Students will also identify and recognise risks and safe practices in athletics and other PEH activities/topics and learn how to make safe choices. Students will be given various opportunities to identify and apply safe practices during physical activities.
