Description

Nope, that’s not a typo – this set contains 550+ New Zealand map labels! From Cape Reinga at the top, down through our quirky little towns and big cities to Invercargill, we’ve got you covered!
 
 
This set of labels is designed to match perfectly with your large classroom wall map – laminate your own selection of labels, then use string to link them to the map. This resource comes complete with task cards to get your class thinking more deeply about their little corner of Aotearoa & what makes it special.
 
INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE:
 

25+ mini task cards to encourage further thinking about their corner of NZ & what makes it special. Examples include questions such as:

  • Where do you live? How long have you & your family lived in that area? Where have you lived in the past?
  • Is your town’s official name in Māori or English? If it’s English, does it also have an original Māori name? What does the name mean?
  • What’s the population of your town?  Which city in NZ has the biggest population?
  • What parts of NZ have you visited?  Where would you most like to go? Why?
  • Does your town have a special maunga or awa? (mountain or river)
