EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING...who discovered New Zealand by researching the history of explorers to NZ and collecting key information about them
- We are EXPLORING how early settlers in NZ discovered places by investigating different resources to find the information we need to learn about the challenges and opportunities that faced these explorers
- We are EXPLORING the great walks of NZ by researching about the opportunities that tourism can benefit from by marketing these experiences.
