Course Overview
Term 1
In Term 1 we will be learning about ourselves and the world around us. Our Pacific unit seeks to delve into our identity and the cultural histories we bring with us everyday when we arrive at school. We are more than just the person sitting down in front of the whiteboard.
Term 2
In Term 2 we are learning about how to collect evidence and form quality research questions. This is something that will help you beyond history.
Term 3
In Term 3 we will look at an event or place that has importance for Aotearoa New Zealand. This could be the Dawn Raids, the Mau Movement or the Springbok Tour Protests and the start of Black Lives Matter.
