“This was a really interesting experience. The class particularly enjoyed hearing from one man specifically that they interviewed about his roots and his story. He came into school and met with them. They interviewed him, asked questions and he later shared some further information with them via email. This was particularly engaging for the boys in our class, which was awesome. They then wrote back from their perspective or their families point of view.

Unfortunately with the kit being sent out late, we are still completing the unit. I asked my girls to do their interviews over the holidays, so they will start their posters this week.
Other classes that have come into the room have loved looking at our map display and reading the letters from the noteworthy New Zealanders.”

“Great kit for children to independently take ownership of. They learnt a lot from family members and friends about life on the farm. They were all so excited to take part.
