“The resource box was incredibly powerful. The resources are exactly what we are lacking in Primary School - so authentic and unique. At first I was concerned about the sophistication of research for Year 5/6 but wow - in groups the students rose to the challenge, and were guided by the information I could provide about Archway, Cenotaph etc. The posters gave us excellent data on which to base our learning. We ended the unit with a summative task where students wrote a letter from a fictional soldier home and they had some wonderful ideas thanks to your resource. The students presented slide shows about the three challenges and their information about their soldier and they carefully crafted sentences based on the information they found.”

“My students loved it! We haven’t got to spend too much time on this box as school comments had to take priority and we didn’t fully get to experience what the kit had to offer! I will be recycling this kit next year early term one to have the full impact for Anzac Day!”

“What an amazing kit! I loved all the artefacts and posters to go with it to help stimulate the kids and my imagination. I also loved the facebook school kit group for extra ideas and pictures of what other teachers had done with their class.

What did you notice about student engagement in the learning with the Walking with an ANZAC kit? The class was highly engaged with the school kit. They all created haiku poems and shared what they learned and created with the school at assembly.

“Another amazing school kit. The resources, hooked the class. They learned so much and asked a lot of questions which was great. The class checked out the online cenotaph records and from that they started looking up whanau who served in the wars. They talked to whanau at home and created mini inquiries on their loved ones. Gone but not forgotten. Thank you for putting this kit together. I will be using for years to come. The ways the kit could be used is great.”
