“Hi there, thank you so much for this resource. As a school, we used this unit to coincide with a staff trip to Waitangi for the weekend at the end of T2. This unit provided lots of opportunities to further inform our learning and awareness of the rich history of Aotearoa. In term we ran a unit called "Something Happened Here in Aotearoa" starting off with events around Waitangi, moving on to Something Happened Here in Tamaki Makaurau /Auckland" where students used the Schoolkit to explore events in the Auckland region. We ended the term with Something Happened Here in Henderson West Auckland where students used their learning from the Schoolkit resources and activities to explore the history of Henderson. Thank you for this awesome, well written and developed resource.”

“This resource was so helpful alongside my unit. The class really enjoyed having hands-on objects to observe as an intro to our unit. The images were a really fun activity we used as a class. The photo activity was great and we used these to then create a pepeha of our local areas using photos the students went out and took themselves.”

“I loved this kit. I was reading the "Children of the Rush' to my class and used the gold rush stuff from the kit. It was awesome for them to see what would have been relevant if they were actually in the gold rush.”
