How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? Added to what we'd already been discussing.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? Used to supplement our TUIA250 studies. Another great resource that the kids enjoyed.

“Great cards, great idea, but probably a bit advanced for the abilities of my Y5/6 class. I had to lead them most of the way. The concentration and ability to 'pay respectful attention to others and actually think' part was challenging! Not your fault SK! Now that I've taught it once, I'm looking forward to doing a better job with my next class.”

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? Yes!! Coupled with the exhibition at the museum (that I went to - but not the kids) it was an education for me too!!

“An eye opening educational resource that challenged our 'Captain Cook' perspective. Seeing it from a different point of view was great. Learning about Tupaia was awesome, I cannot believe I had never heard of him before. Pretty sure Tupaia should have got more credit in history books!!”

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? Really helped students the visualize the concept of different perspectives with the character cards. This kit prompted students to have difficult conversations.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? With NZ history becoming a compulsory subject the importance of getting all sides of that history especially when lots of that history is in oral stories. We need to make sure we don't just teach what we can read from the time.

“This was a great resource that led the teacher and the students on a journey through history that we knew little about at the start. The items sparked so much interest and engagement from the start and carried on with the maps and character cards. This resource was great to use for writing and even inspired students to get out library books about the first landings in New Zealand.”

“This kit was used on a combined year 4 to 8 class. They thoroughly enjoyed the kit. It encouraged them to look at another side of the story. Which tamariki found challenging but they had fabulous discussions around it.”
