Bomb Gone: Nuclear Free Pacific Reviews

4.5 Rating 210 Reviews
How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? With very little knowledge about this topic, we learnt a lot. Students not only learnt about the NZ Navy's impacts on our country and their sacrifices, students were able to understand their perspective and empathise with them.

This was a fantastic unit. The resources that came with the pack made the learning very engaging. The hands on approach and the use of digital resources were a great balance for the students.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? The kit definitely built awareness of the NZ Navy's contribution, both for myself as a teacher and for our learners.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? This kit had a positive impact on our learners by building their knowledge of NZ History and helping them to learn more about the challenges that we face when analysing resources and making connections. The 'Missing Voices' aspect is also really important
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Very high engagement, I think due to the range of resources provided. The kit was also less prescriptive and required learners to really interact with the resources. The kit was also a catalyst for great questions from our learners.
This kit was a wonderful challenge for our students. The resources were engaging, thought-provoking, and informative. We also appreciated the variety of the different resources- there was everything from photographs, flags, newspapers, and audio files. Our learners particularly enjoyed the well-curated songs put together on the Spotify playlists, which we put on in the background while we were working. I especially appreciated the opportunity the kit gave for our learners to think like historians and to have to search and dig deep for answers and to make connections. They found this challenging and a great chance to be in the learning pit! Overall, a very valuable resource on this aspect of NZ history.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? Some new information and understanding. I think beyond this unit the class could still develop further understanding of the changing role of the Navy, especially around our nuclear history.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Definitely excited to explore. they visual resources were really big for letting my class understand the magnitude of what was happening. When we read personal stories from Grapple they were shocked about the impact of being near the testing site, not jus
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The visuals were the biggest winners. Videos and photos really connected with the students.
We really loved the range of resources in this kit. There were so many exciting images, resources and videos for the class to explore. From a teaching perspective, I would have liked some more guidance around how to use some of the resources more effectively and create followup activities to consolidate our knowledge. There was a lot of learning in this unit for me also and I am not sure I used everything as in depth as I possible could have.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? We all learnt so much about the NZ Navy's involvement - teachers included. Looking at this compares to other Navy's was deeply fascinating for them.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? This had a great impact on the students learning as we have had a heavy focus on NZ History and Pacific history linking to NZ this year. It had a powerful impact learning about another aspect. It created great debates and discussion around Nuclear Power.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? They absolutely loved the Spotify playlists - targeted right at them.
Prior to this unit students knowledge of New Zealand becoming nuclear free was minimal. It was a great way to explore significant times in New Zealand history that isn't normally highlighted. Students were so engaged learning about a new topic and the resources just hook them in so quickly causing so much discussion between all students.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Anything 'hands on' always promotes higher student engagement.
This followed on really nicely to the NZ Histories kit we did previously.
