Homework - Early Settlers - Due 19th March

Early Settlers who came to New Zealand.

We have now started to look at and take notes on some of the first explorers to find New Zealand. Your task is to now find out about some more of the early immigrants who came to New Zealand. I would like you to consider and include in your findings…

Who is the Person/Group of People you are going to research?
Where did they come to NZ from?
What was their reason for coming to NZ?
Where did they settle in NZ?
Are there any Modern day places or significant landmarks related to this person/group of people?
Did these immigrants build factories, set up businesses and what skills did they have on arriving to NZ?

You need to be prepared to talk to others in the class and in small groups about your findings as well as having some from of written report or information poster or timeline of the Immigrant/Early Settler you chose to research.

Remember any extra information you are able to share and find is welcomed, my questions are just a baseline guide to what you need to find out!!
