  • Who found what in NZ?  

    Before we go and see what explorers found where, I think it is important that we do a little bit of getting to know what NZ looks like and where some of the main places in the country are.



    To Do:

    Glue these two maps into your global studies book and use the detailed map to find the following places:  Use a dot to pinpoint the place and then use a ruler to draw a lone out so that you can label the place.



    Learning Intention:

    We are learning to retrieve information from a variety of sources.


    To do:  The following websites will help you find information on most of the explorers in the table below.  Choose one explorer and answer the following questions about their life and times.  If you can't find any information then you will have to type in to google or another search engine some questions about the person you have chosen.
