Our class enjoyed this school kit. We had a lot of interuptions during the term which did make it difficult to really get into this kit but once we looked at a few of the stories as a whole class, a few groups of children continued the learning independently throughout the term.

I was so impressed with this resource. It tied in so nicely with re telling our local stories and it sparked some really good learning. Especially with the new curriculum and teaching about our local NZ history.

My Year 8 class had a a lot of fun with our New Zealand History unit. The students got to unpack and examine different artefacts, which led them to discover some lesser-known events and places in our history. The artefacts really brought the stories to life and made learning engaging. The kids loved piecing together the events and connecting the dots to understand more about our past. This hands-on approach got them thinking critically and working together. Overall, it was an awesome experience that made pieces of our history come alive.

I found it confusing to use and had difficulty understanding the context it was intended for. Perhaps it was just not I was looking for or expecting at the time. There were no clear instructions on how to utalise the resources included in the kit.

We loved having this kete as part of our History unit. All of the contents sparked conversation with the children and parents. We set up a lovely provocation on our Whanau Day of all the treasures and encouraged Grandparents to talk about what they remember of the items.
