Places named by explorers | Inquiry

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.
