Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa [4 points]
Many people believe that Kupe was the first person to discover Aotearoa, New Zealand in about 1300. He 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.
Please think about your own culture. Where does your family come from? What is important or special to you and your family? What language do you speak?
On your blog, please tell us about your culture.

ReplyDeleteMikey here. Congratulations on completing your first two Summer Learning Journey activities! :)
I like how you've included the activity instructions at the top of your post. It makes it really clear to the reader what your post is about. My family is also from New Zealand! :) Has your family always lived in Christchurch? Or have you lived in other parts of the country?
Keep up the great blogging Logan, and have an awesome day!
