Term 1 SOLO Taxonomy Topic- Living Things

Our focus in term 1 has been on living things. Part of this was looking at the life processes of living things and why these are so important. We focused our time looking at the Tuatara, investigating the living porcesses that enable them to live their life here in Aotearoa. To do this, we used the MRS GREN acronym: M-ovement, R-eproduction, S-ensitivity, G-rowth, R-espiration, E-xtretion and N-utrition.

SOLO Level	Comment- Kenai, Brodie, Jaden and Salman
Multistructural/Relational	Boys, I have marked you between multistructural and relational because most areas of MRS GREN have been explained using ‘because’ statements, to give more detail and explanation, however other areas are very brief with no explanation. Next Step: Give several ideas for each area and ensure that you are giving clear explanation about why these occur or why they are important to the Tuatara.

Swimming Success!

We have been working hard this term on our basic swimming skills and our freestyle and backstroke styles. We have been learning to skull and tread water just in case we are in deep water and need to survive until help comes. Our freestyle foci have been around our arms, breathing and kicking. With backstroke, we have been focusing on keeping our tummys up, chins up, arms close to our ears and going in a straight line. Check out our videos!
