Did you know that many people believe that Kupe was the first person to discover Aotearoa, New Zealand in about 1300.navigated from Hawaiki to Aotearoa using the stars, sun, and ocean swells. In 1642 Abel Tasman came from The Netherlands to New Zealand. He thought that he was the first person to ‘discover’ the country, even though Māori already lived here! Kupe and Abel Tasman came from two very different cultures but they both wanted to explore the world.

Hi Meka
ReplyDeleteMy name is Allie and I am part of the SLJ team. Well done for completing another activity.
Where were you born? Was it here on the West Coast?
My Mum was born in Australia but my Dad and I were born in a town at the top of the North Island called Dargaville. But I like living here on the West Coast now!
Do you think you would like to learn another language? If so, what would you like to learn to speak?
I think I would like to learn french as I would like to visit France one day.
I hope that you had a great Christmas and are enjoying the holidays. Keep up the great work!
Until next time
Allie :)
