England Migrants


In term two I conducted a Social inquiry on Migration. My Social inquiry focussed on the movement of migrants from England to New Zealand. One of the push reasons why England left their country of origin was because in the 19th century, number of people were being sent to NZ by Lancashire because their country were getting too populated and there wasn't enough space for everyone. One of the pull reasons why they moved to New Zealand was because some workers in England were preferred by the New Zealand government in 1870’s. Some of these assistance were builders and agricultural labourers and were needed to work in another land which was New Zealand. Some of the obstacles they faced was that the land that they arrived on wasn’t theirs, it belonged to tribes that discovered the land before them. They basically were trespassing. The tribes weren’t happy with the situation. My personal perspective is that the plan of England migrating to New Zealand was a good idea. Why? Most of the things that are being used today was from England. Different types of sports that are known today like rugby, netball, soccer and more. Many different tastes of food that feeds the hungriness, proms and many other different useful things. Even though the english faced some serious problems when they arrived, they still managed to get over it and enjoy life in New Zealand. The fact that England migrated to New Zealand in the beginning was a great idea!
