How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? The kit was really good. I loved the materials - saved me a lot of time. I wouldn't have matched it.
How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? I used the kit as a provocation to do exactly that.

“I used this kit as a provocation for our unit 'People and Communities show responsibility for sustaining what is important to them. The focus for Term 2 was 'our story' - the story of our school and community. Our school was working towards celebrating the 150th year centennary of our school/education in the area. The resources in the kit were really good to use to for looking at stories of people who arrived in our country (community), the voyages and hardships they undertook. 'The something happened here' box of photos helped with perspectives - I diversified the unit and contextualised some of the material for my class. The flour sack even became a prop for our performance. A really good kit.”

“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.”
