Places in Kaitaia
In Kakapo class we have been learning about New Zealand history. We found out that there are so many places in the Far north that are filled with lots of history. At Cape Reinga when people die their spirits go to the tip of New Zealand where the two oceans meet (Tasman and Pacific) You can also feel the spirits there as well. It is also a place that I highly recommend you visit if you ever come here.
A part of our local history is the Kauri Gum Diggers and how they mined up all the gum. If you go to Te Ahu as well you will see a Pou that represents Gum Diggers. They are very special to me because great great great great grandfather was a Gum Digger.
When we learned about NZ History I liked learning about Young Nicks Head which has heaps of history behind it. It is the place where Captain Cook first sailed to New Zealand.
Our history learning was integrated into our learning contracts - We learned lots. Whats your favourite place in NZ?
