How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives?

“I really enjoyed using this kit in my year 3/4 class and am definitely keen to use it again with my class next year and go more in depth. The students liked seeing and hearing about how everyone who was there had a slightly different recollection of what happened that day. They were able to connect this to things that happen in their own lives like things going missing. They enjoyed using the maps which was a great tie in with the learning we have been doing in maths - made it an authentic learning experience in a curriculum area.”

“My students thoroughly enjoyed it. We enjoyed how the history covered the character profiles. Also, they enjoyed discussing how it was from then to now. They were also fascinated with all the artefacts that was enclosed with the kit. My students also enjoyed displaying their work and also following where each character started their journey to completing their journey. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the work that went in to produce this amazing resource. Thank you too, for all the planning and background information. The students also did their own inquiry. I have shared how they displayed the classroom with your resources.”

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? Yes, I think the approach was varied and could be adapted to any year level. We chose to go more indepth with the history and linked it to readings from School Journals and reference books on the same subject.

“Fabulous resource! The teachers even tried the ship biscuits, much to the students disgust! I think this learning will stick with our students for the rest of their lives and has ignited a huge amount of curiosity within them for Aotearoa history - as it has with their teachers. Our class really enjoyed incorporating drama to supplement this resource which helped us really get to know each person from this interaction.”
