    We will be working on our Science Fair Project for the whole of Term 2. This will need to be done at home, in class we will learn about the scientific method.

    This week please refer to Google Classroom "2020 Science Fair Resource Page" where all the information you need will be found. You need to choose a topic you are interested in and then formulate a question you would like to investigate.



  • 30 March - 5 April


  • 6 April - 12 April


  • 13 April - 19 April



    Kia ora 7F2 students. Hope you and your family are all well and had a great holiday. This week is our first week back and we are starting our online learning.

    Week 1 of Term 2 will be for you to work on your first assessment for this year. I have attached the assessment below so please go ahead and read through it. It should be straightforward but if you have any questions please contact me via email. I will be available for you in your timetabled science class. I will also post some more guidelines for your assessment and discuss the TAAB with you on Google Classroom. 

    Homework will be for you to work on your science fair project. By now you should have decided on your experiment. Please email me your chosen experiment and we can discuss together. 

    Please refer to Google Classroom as my instructions and school work to be done will be posted there.
