Samuel Marsden

LI: To use our smart searching skills to find out who Samuel Marsden was and what he is known for.

In LS2 I created a Poster of Samuel Marsden We used our smart searching skills to research facts about Samuel Marsden. To make sure our facts were correct we used three different websites. The websites I used were Google and Wikapidia Something interesting I found out about Samuel marsden that he is a missionary I learnt its is important to use my own words because if you don’t know what it means and your one of your teachers ask you, You might not know it. 

 

 

Evolution of the NZ Flag

LI: To understand the story behind our flag

                                                 

Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time.

Something I found interesting was that the current flag, introduced in 1869 with the southern cross stars, and a union jack.
