Learn About New Zealand - Winter Learning Journey Day 1

Five facts about New Zealand: 

  • Maui is a Maori Demi-God who fished up New Zealand with his magical fishhook. 
  • Did you know that NZ's oldest rocks are over 500 million years old?
  • The New Zealand native bird is a kiwi, but it doesn't actually fly. 
  • Kupe found New Zealand by using the stars and the ocean as his guide to find an island. 
  • Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand which simply means 'Land of the long white cloud'.
