Did you know that Polynesians were the first to arrive in New Zealand?
Learning Intention: We are learning to develop our understanding about the beginning of New Zealand.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write five key information about the beginning of New Zealand.
I really enjoyed reading your five facts about the first settlers to arrive in New Zealand. I agree with that they must have been very brave. I can't really imagine what it would have been like to set sail from their homes, travel across the ocean and arrive in a brand new place that they had never before visited. When I moved to New Zealand I found it hard enough to settle into life in a new country without having to worry about a long waka trip and the chance that I would never see my family again. I am actually able to hop onto an airplane and get home to see my parents and my sister in Canada quite often. How lucky am I?!
I hope that you and your family spent lots of quality time together over the summer break. I'll look forward to seeing you when I come into Glen Taylor to deliver the Summer Learning Journey prizes and certificates.
Eek! I am so sorry. I wrote down 'Glen Taylor' school instead of St. Pat's because I have been working on both schools today and had two tabs open - yours and a student from Glen Taylor school. I'm so sorry! I definitely know that you are a student at St Pat's!
Kia Ora Fulila,
