It says that over 4 hundred years ago when the European people worried about falling off the edge of the world the Maori people sailed thousands of miles across the pacific ocean, when they discovered Aotearoa or in English, New Zealand. They were known as the first inhabitants of that country.
2. Become one of the locals
Getting to know New Zealander's as relaxed and friendly people will be one of your favorite things when visiting the country.

Kia ora Kalani and welcome to the Winter Learning Journey programme! We are thrilled that you are blogging with us this holiday. Welcome!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your first blog post for the programme. I learned quite a bit about the country and about our history. I did not realise that Europeans were worried about falling off the edge of the world and, as a result, did not venture all the way to New Zealand. It is strange to think that people believed that the world was flat when we now know that is circular or globe-like.
I hope that you enjoyed learning about New Zealand and sharing your learning on your blog. Jacinta, Nicky, Willy and I are all looking forward to sharing this learning journey with you. We will read your activity posts, post comments and award you points.
As of right now, you are in the lead for Glen Taylor school. Keep it up!
Cheers,
Rachel :)
