Early Encounters in Aotearoa
The first explorer to arrive in Aotearoa was Abel Tasman in 1642. He called the land Nova Zealandia. The next explorer was James Cook in 1769. The chief navigator helping the explorers was Tu Paia. The Europeans brought pigs, ship rats, potatoes and diseases. A musket is a gun. The musket wars ended in 1830. In 1840 there were 40 Maori to every one Pakeha.

2. Helpful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
