Explorers

We have been learning about Abel Tasman and Captain James Cook.  Abel Tasman was the first 

European man to visit New Zealand. Captain James Cook had six kids.  Captain James Cook is European.  When Abel Tasman traveled to New Zealand, Maori people were there and Abel Tasmans 

group traded things to the Maori people.  The European people did trade too.   Abel Tasman traveled

on the sea because it's could the Tasman sea.  Captain James Cook called Fiji the savage island

because the Fijian people tried to eat Captain James Cook.  Captain James Cook called Tonga 

The nice island because they were nice to Captain James Cook.
