Day 1: The Early Years (Late 1800s – 1919)
Activity 1: St Joseph’s Cathedral 
At the turn of the century, there was a great deal of construction happening in New Zealand. Many of the new British settlers wanted to build homes and community meeting places, such as churches. One of the largest buildings to be constructed during this period was St Joseph’s Cathedral in Dunedin.
St Joseph’s Cathedral is just one of hundreds of beautiful cathedrals around the world.
Use your search engine to find a picture of another famous cathedral. Post a picture of the cathedral on your blog. Underneath the picture tell us: the name of the cathedral, where the cathedral is located, when it was built, and how long it took to build:

Hi again Naomi, thanks for selecting your favourite cathedral, posting a photo of it and sharing a description about specific measurements. It has been really interesting to read and I have learnt lots.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool photo you have chosen too! I like the blue sky behind the church. The church looks like it has lots of interesting patterns. I would love to have a look inside. Apparently this church took around 200 years to build. That is such a long time! I bet the people were getting frustrated waiting.
