☆Pioneer settlers☆


Pioneer settlers came from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. They settled New Zealand very hard. Their journey was uncomfortable. The ship wan too narrow and small, and they could not get enough fresh food or water. Therefore they gave many jobs and they shared them with men, women and children.

First, men's job were to clearn the land and looked after the livestock. Then they happened accidents when they were cutting down trees.

Second, women's job were to keep the family fed, clothed and healthy. Cooking was often on an open fire because food was not fresh. In addition, they had to fetched water from the stream and bread had to baked at home. Women even made butter to sell in nearby settlements. Nevertheless families were large, but many children died because of many diseases.

Finally, children helped on the farm and with household tasks because they were expected to work hard. In fact, they were independent and resourceful than their English cousins. They rode horses and were trusted with serious jobs. It was their job to keep up the wood supply for cooking. They helped their father and mother.
