Land of Plenty

Yesterday for inquiry we were learning about why people would want to call New Zealand home, what attracts people to live here. We started by listening to the song 'Land of Plenty' by OMC. We discussed the themes of the song and what features of New Zealand were identified. Using wall wisher we brainstormed all our ideas about what makes people decide to live here.
Check out all our ideas!
