  5 February - 11 February
  
  

  FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

  • We are FOCUSING on developing better understanding of the habitat and adaptations.
  • We are FOCUSING on explaining biodiversity and the way living things are interdependent for survival.
  • We are FOCUSING on identifying some issues around biodiversity and develop a response.
  • We are FOCUSING on developing our own knowledge about the different life processes.

  
  
  

                                                                     

  Our context for this term revolves around biodiversity and how each and everything on this planet is interdependent for existence. In this session we will be recapping a few topics from last year, such as habitat, adaptations etc.
