kī o rahi.
Term 2
We will spend the beginning of Term 2 finishing up our kī o rahi unit and completing the
1.1 assessment. The rest of Term 2 will be spent collecting evidence and developing an
understanding of how personal movement experiences influence hauora as well as for the
influences on movement in Aotearoa external. The context for this unit is a 4km run and circuit
training sessions.

During Term 3 students will have a second opportunity to improve their grades for 1.1
and 1.2, the movement strategies and kotahitanga assessments. The context for this unit will
either be badminton or korfball. They will also be completing their final assessment work for the
two externally assessed standards using the data they have collected over the past terms.
