What's Up In Year 7?

It's been a very busy and exciting first term at Tahuna for our Year 7 students.  They have be working on getting to know their new classmates and forming new friendships, going to Technology, trying out for new sports teams and other groups and generally having lots of fun.  

In class they have been learning about mapping the world and New Zealand and have also studied being Sun Smart and why it is important for them to be responsible about protecting themselves from getting sunburnt.

Next term their focus will be on Science and  they will be studying Weather and Climate Change and the effect this has on people.  Science Fair is another big focus for Term 2 as students will prepare for the Otago Science Fair which is held early in Term 3.   Camping at Tirohanga during the first four weeks of the term is a great way to begin the new term and classes are working hard getting ready for this.
