Welcome to Year 7 Science. I hope you have had a wonderful break and are ready to adventure with me on an exciting year exploring the world of science.
My name is Mrs Roodt -
Term One, Learning Context
Our Year 7 learning context this term is Kainga wai wai (which means our home in Māori). Since we all belong to Forest Whānau, we will learn about our native forest and bush. I wonder how much you already know? During our learning, we will also have to write down our learning intentions in our science exercise books that will be stored behind the whiteboard in F10.
What are learning intentions?Learning intentions help us know what we should know or be able to do at the end of the learning that we may not have known or couldn't do before.
Learning Attention - “I can…”
