Early arrivals in New Zealand

 

We were learning to find the history around all of the early arrivals in New Zealand, and I chose an explorer, Captain Cook. To find the history behind this subject we had to research, firstly all of the facts that we discovered we had to write them into our book. We then had to turn all of the facts we researched into a story, we also had to make a title page to describe our writing.

I found it easy to create my title page because it was very easy to find all of the images on google that I needed. I also found it easy to find some of the facts that I needed, it was also easy to write the start of my writing but getting to the end it got harder.

I found it hard to turn all of the facts that I had into a story because at the start I didn't really understand but then I finally understood. I also found it hard to write my title because all of the titles I used didn't make sense but then my teacher Mrs Hall told me. 

I really enjoyed learning about Captain Cook because before I started this activity I knew nothing about him but at the end of this activity I learnt lots. I also really enjoyed doing my title page because I loved looking at different fonts, and looking at all of the pictures.  

Next time I think I could of added more detail of what New Zealand was first like when Captain Cook discovered it by saying if there were lots of trees or any little homes.
