My daughter is in Year 3 (equivalent to Grade 3 in the US). There is no way she would know the answer. They focus on New Zealand in the early years. In my opinion, the only way a 3rd grader would know the answer is if they have rote learned capital cities for some reason - or if there had been an incident in that particular country.

And just a test for some of you - without googling - what is the capital city of New Zealand?
