Where The Heck Is Wellsford...?

The location in Auckland;

Something special about this place;

A 'potted' history of the place;

If it has it's own symbol of some sort.

(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).

Task One – “Where The Heck IS Wellsford”
Wellsford is in the northern North Island of New Zealand.



The special thing about this town is that the Wellsford Golf Club is popular among the locals and also houses squash courts.

In early 1860’s English settlers arrived establishing themselves at Port Albert on the Kai para Coast about 10 kilometers west of Wellsford. These settlers called themselves The Albertlanders, after prince Albert,queen Victoria’s consort. They were a “breakaway group from the Anglican Church looking for a new world. However not many of the settlers arrived at Port Albert and the ones who did found it difficult to make a living. The majority of the Albertlanders moved inland, to more fertile areas in the region. As a result, Wellsford was founded

This is a picture that shows that Wellsford has lots of cows and some of them even block up the road!!!.




To find out more information about Wellsford and about their cows go to this website written below.

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.

For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is Force.
There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.
