  Ko Mrs Chamberlin toku ingoa. I will be your Global Studies teacher this year. 

  You can email me schamberlin@mhjc.school.nz or visit me in my class F6.

  Please check MHO regularly for activities and planning. Your assessments will be linked here, at the top of the MHO page. 

  For Global Studies this year you will need:
  

  • Device and a lined exercise book
    
  • Pens, glue, ruler, colouring-in pencils and a highlighter

  You need to get these ready when you are waiting in a line outside F6. 

  Once invited in, you need to put your bag in the bag cupboard.  You then need to read and record the Date, Learning Intentions, Success Criteria & 'Do Now' activity in your exercise book. 

  This will be our routine and I expect not to ask you to do this, but for you to manage yourself to action this at the start of every session. 😃👍
