Homework help for a 10 year old boy.
 

Hi all

Please could any one help my son as he has a project to do.

Thomas has to, In no more than one hundred words, describe the history of New Zealand.

As We are living in Australia and come from England I have not got a clue. I am absoluetly crap at History.

I thought school life was supposed to be easier here not harder.

Please please help someone.:D

Thanks Julia and the tearfull 10 year old.

Not restricted to solely 100 words, but the first few paragraphs could certainly be edited down:

I think with libraries and the internet you shouldn't need to be worrying about how do to your son's homework for him?!
JMTW...
Good luck by the way =) I think the biggest challenge would be deciding on which bit of the history fits into 100 words, I dare you to use the splitting of the NZ islands from Godwanaland, or the evolution of the flightless birds... ;) Actually the Maori legend of the fishing of the North Island by Maui (the South Island is the waka or canoe) would be a really fun one to do...

I wasn't asking for someone to do it for him. I was marely asking where to get the information etc. I will not be doing this for him. Don't know what give you that idea. I think if you can't give an answer then don't answer at all IMO.

Thanks anyway.

I think it was just a misinterpritation of your post. I too read it that way when I first looked at it.

I think that part that made me think that was the mention of schooling supposed to be easier here...... I would have though that was a bad thing. On this board people often say they are leaving the UK because the schools are so bad, so not sure they would agree they are easier. I have no view either way, I think schooling is as much about parents as anything and by the fact that you are helping your son get the right info, then that is a good thing. A lot of children get no help at all.

Hope that you find what you are looking for.
