Curriculum links
The New Zealand curriculum identifies five key competencies:
All our water lessons include practical sessions, field trips or experiments. These activities are done in pairs or small groups, sometimes with parent helpers. Students have the opportunity to practise, develop and hone their key competency skills during these sessions, and afterwards by using the supporting materials.
Each online lesson page includes links to the curriculum.
