Early Voyagers: Hi everyone today I’ve learnt that in the past four hundred years before Christopher Columbus and the rest of Europe terrified about falling off the edge of the world, Maori people voyaged thousands of miles across the vast unknown Pacific Ocean, in small kayak, and he tried to become the first inhabitants of Aotearoa New Zealand. To this day,Maori culture is a core part of New Zealand’s national identity.
Christopher Columbus: He is a Navigator who travelled in 1492, across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain in the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and the Nina ships alongside, hoping to find a new route to India.
Rugged Pioneers: Hi everyone today I found a amazing fact about New Zealand,New Zealand’s European pioneers were also brave, rugged and independent, back in time establishing farms and settlements, they had to first clear the land - a painstaking and sometimes dangerous activity, their isolation and exposure to the elements forced, these early New Zealanders to become hardy and multi-skilled, this resourcefulness and ingenuity has greatly contributed to the New Zealand character, the same qualities can be seen today in the new pioneers - a generation of young Kiwi business executives, computer software builders, film-makers, fashion designers, and sportspeople making waves around the world.
Backyard Genius: Hi every today I was searching online some amazing facts about New Zealand and this is one of them, he is the New Zealand Hundred Dollar man, after years before Sir Ernest Rutherford split the atom early in the twentieth century, Kiwis have been discovering and inventing things, many of these inventions have literally been created in a backyard, while frozen meat, the Hamilton Jet boat, and the bungy jump are probably our most famous Kiwi inventions, there are many others. New Zealanders are also responsible for the tranquilliser gun, seismic base isolators (rubber and lead blocks which minimise earthquake damage), electric fences, the fastest motorbike in the world, freezer vacuum pumps, stamp vending machines, wide-toothed shearing combs, and the electronic petrol pump - to name a few.
Sir Ernest Rutherford:Chemist and physicist Ernest Rutherford was born August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove, New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom, Rutherford was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure.
