social study term 1

Hello Reader(s)

At my school we do Social Study and this term when have been learning about Polynesian and European migration.

one thing I learnt was that in 1769 James Cook came to New Zealand in his ship the Endeavour.

Did you know that James Cook came to New Zealand from Britten to explore the pacific ocean and made detailed maps of New Zealand.

thank you for tacking the time to read my blog post.

music term 1

In music this term we have played ukulele and learnt about guitar with Mr Clarke. I really liked playing the ukulele because I have played it for many years. I found some of the songs we played in music challenging because they were very different then the songs I normally play. I did not enjoy the paper work we did this term because I don’t really like writing things by hand.
