How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? I feel able to elicit a lot of discussion using the photos in the kit and the badges especially.

How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? In ESOL we used it more as a comparison tool for the children to explore and share their history from their country.

“We came across this resource by mistake, talking to another teacher and we didn't know we could order resources like this from School Kit. The children loved the hands on resources and it gave more authenticity to their learning. We will definetly be looking for further resources from School Kit to support our learning in the future.”

“This year we taught the Culture and Identity AO of the ANZ Curriculum. The most popular resources in the box were the photos and the something happened here website. Students were highly engaged with the website when creating their own pepeha.”

“Not had the chance to use the whole kit yet as teaching across different subjects this year. Trying to build it in to lots of different areas. Did make use of the postcards in both English, writing to the sender using letter writing text skills, and a science lesson looking at communities and the cultural aspects that make them work.”
