For Te-reo, my class learnt various Maori names for the cities in NZ. To share our learning, we created our own google map, marking the cities in NZ by their English and Maori names.
Te Whanganui-a-Tara is the Maori name for Wellington Harbour, the capital of New Zealand. The translation of "Te whanganui-a-Tara", is "the great habour of Tara", referring to the Maori chief Tara, who according to the Maori visited the area in the 12th century and decided to settle there.
Here is a screen shot of the map I created (Click to enlarge)
I am a Year 8 student at Glenbrae School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 7 and my teacher is Mrs Tofa.

Edna's journey in world war 1
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zkfJzN5EzfOE.kNxd1URFv8Wo
Today I read a online book called Grey Angels, it is about a nurse called Edna who served in world war 1 and about her amazing journey during the war. Edna nursed soldiers who had a illness called dysentery(a infection in your intestines) and some had bullet wounds, or sharpenal( bits of a bomb shell that that gets thrown out). Also the job that Edna was qualifying for had active service and the people who were going to fight in the war thought that they would be fighting in Western front but they were fighting in Gallipoli.
I learned how to make a timeline using Google maps UK and I found it difficult to read the text to find out what happened in Edna's journey in World war 1.
Here is a picture of my timeline about Edna's journey and if you want, there is a link at the top that shows the website to my map/timeline.
