Term 4 2020
Year 2:
We will be discovering Maori Myths and Legends: Maui and the Fish and Battle of the Mountains.
We will then look more closely at the question: What makes a mountain?
Key concepts:
- The 3 main layers of Earth: the crust, the mantle, the core
- Tectonic Plates
- Different kinds of mountain shapes (fold, block, cone)
- Volcanoes – parts of a volcano, why volcanoes erupt
