Explorers

we have been learning about explorers.  We learned at Abel Tasman was the first European to see New Zealand. When Abel Tasman came to New Zealand there was Maori people there.  Abel Tasman had a lot of wars with the Maori people.  The Tasman sea is called the Tasman sea because he was first person to sail on it.  After Abel Tasman went to NZ, Captian James Cook came and made friends with the Maori people.
