TP History on PhotoPeach
As part of our exploring SIGNIFICANCE we have been looking at the significant things in Te Pahu's history that have shaped what Te Pahu is today. It has been great for the students to make connections with what they know and extending their knowledge about the ground under their feet. It has included the naming of Mt Pirongia, wars, settlements and schools that no longer exist, horses and wagons, how isolated it was, creameries, the transformation of our school, and many other things. It has been so interesting to discover the hardships early settlers faced and all the events that led to what we know today. The students are preparing to write some short histories including the things they have found interesting. These will be on their blogs later so I encourage you to view them.
