Yesterday and Today

LI: To use the information gained from looking closely at images to compare the past with the present (yesterday with today)

The Tamaki River has changed over time. Work in pairs to find images that show what Tamaki River looked like in the past and what it looks like today. Try to find at least 5 images for each column.

(Remember our Room 9 site will help you here if you search the websites on the term 4 Topic page.)

Your Challenge:

To show your understanding you will need to write 5 statements that compare the past with the present and show you have used the information in the pictures to gather information. Remember I am looking for facts about what is in the picture not the colour of the image.
Make sure you share this with me then paste the link to this task on the marking sheet.

Tamaki River Past

Tamaki River Today

Back in the past people used the water as their main transport to get around. This how they got their food, where they washed and got their clothes.

This is the Tamaki River Bridge which was built in 1865, it has changed a lot over the past years.

This is Half Moon Bay in 1971, there is a lot of space compared to the 2013 one.

This is Mission Bay in 1979, you can see there isn’t any of the fancy houses you have now.

Now they have built bridges to get to the other side, you don’t need a boat to get across anymore.

This is the new Tamaki River Bridge it is more safer than the original one and is more stable and can protect you.

This is Half Moon Bay in 2013, all the space from 1971 has been replaced with houses and much more boat docks.

Mission Bay in 2013, there are a lot more trees and there are some fancy houses now.
