Weekly outline

  • Term 1 - Week 1

    Cover

    Welcome to Year 8 Math. I hope you have had a wonderful break and are ready to adventure with me on an exciting year exploring the world of mathematics.

    My name is Mr Kumar.

    A kaitiaki is a guardian.  The process and practices of protecting/looking after the environment are known as kaitiakitanga. The ‘Kaitiakitanga’ learning journey sees Ngahere engaging in a place-based, inquiry-led, and ‘participation for change’ focused opportunity. Year 8 students will snorkel in the Goat Island Marine Reserve with qualified instructors and visit the Goat Island Marine Discovery Centre. The focus is on understanding what ‘Kaitiakitanga’ means and developing a publication to promote community action. 


    The rocky shore perspective exposes students to a variety of learning experiences - from water safety (always a hot topic in New Zealand), to learning about unique species living in our waters - identifying species, understanding habitats and survival, tides, adaptations, classifications, etc.

    Authentic outcomes include:

    • Snorkeling at Goat Island Marine Reserve

    • Hands-on learning at the Goat Island Marine Discovery Centre

    • Acting local beach clean-up (for example) and poster to promote participation for change.
