Places named by early explorers

This week we have created google maps putting  the places that Abel Tasman, Kupe, and James Cook that were named after them. We completed this in pairs, and my partner was Taheesha. We searched up to help us find more places. Places named by the explorers are names that have special meanings.

Maori

This week for Maori we had Whaea Odie. First she read a story called Remember That November. This story was about a school speech. The children think that Andy will win the speech contest. In Andy's speech it was about Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was a man who attempted to explode the king's castle using gunpowder. In the speech contest Aroha stands up who wore a white feather on her hair. Aroha tells a story about the village Parihaka. Once we listened to the story we had to go on google maps and find Parihaka. Once we found Parihaka on google maps we had to mark it on the Sheet that we were given. Parihaka is in Taranaki.
