Places named by early explorers
For this activity we put all the places we could find named by or after early explorers and explain how it got its name ( Captain Cook, Abel Tasman and Kupe) People name things after famous people, themselves or how things look at that place. For example Kupe found New Zealand by accident and his wife named it Aoteoroa because of the long white cloud. One of the most interesting places was Banks peninsula. Did you know that new Zealand has the longest place name of the world, it is called Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu
