Places Named By Early Explorers

 This week in Inquiry, our topic was about early explorers who travelled around different countries, like New Zealand. We created a map and marked out the different places Kupe, Captain James Cook and Able Tasman named or was named after. In our map, we also included why these places were named. Something I really found interesting, was that there were interesting meanings behind these places. These places are named, so they are respected, to feel proud, and for people to notice you. Places get named by friends, themselves, physical appearances, important people and what happened in a place.
