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.
The cathedral i picked is the Winchester cathedral. The Winchester cathedral is located in Winchester, build in 1079 and it took 14 years to complete.
Hey there Mason, thanks for completing another activity, it's fantastic that you are working so hard throughout your summer holidays.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cathedral you have chosen before because I have never heard of it and it's also really cool looking. You can tell it was built so long ago. I really like the two colours that have been used. It looks like an old castle.
Why do you think it took so long to build?
Wow it's nearly a thousand years old!
Thanks, Billy
