Explorer vs Adventurer

We had images of explorers and adventurers and put them on what they are. We learnt about why they are adventurers and explorers. There were more explorers than adventurers, some of them were both, because they not only found land they had fun at the same time.

Places named by early explorers

This week we have created google maps charting out the places that Abel Tasman, Kupe, and James Cook was named by or named after. We also had to find out the meanings and how and why they were named that. We completed this is pairs, my partner was Ong. We used our smart reasearching skills to find some places named after the 3 explorers. Abel Tasman, James Cook, and Kupe were the founders of New Zealand. Kupe found New Zealand first, then Abel Tasman, and then James Cook. They all found NZ by accident.
