Inquiry - Minecraft Lesson

This academic term our school-wide is based around Mātauranga. We have been learning about the history of migration in the Pacific and all the stories of how our Polynesian ancestors navigated the Pacific to migrate to Aotearoa, New Zealand. 

We were lucky enough to have Willj from ImpactEd work with our class on using Minecraft to demonstrate our knowledge of what we have been learning through our Inquiry. The lesson was really engaging and we are looking forward to using Minecraft in class a lot more.
