“This kit ignited curiousity amongst my Year 5 & 6 learners. It was the perfect resource for our Exploring phase of our Inquiry learning in Term 2. We were already learning about Aotearoa NZ History and this kit expanded our research immensely. Through the provocations, students were eager to learn more and find out about the stories.”
