“Such a wonderful kit that helps my tamariki gain a better understanding of where they are and where they come from. The interactive nature of the postcards linking to the website - awesome! The items help the learning come to life. Today will reuse this resource time and time again! Thanks Schoolkit for yet another stellar kit!”

“This carefully curated collection of artifacts from the history of Aotearoa is excellent. The themes wide enough to provide starting points for any number of inquiries, but specific enough to be accessible for all of us new to this refresh of the Social Sciences curriculum.”

How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? I feel like I'm also learning at the same time with the kids and they enjoy the fact that I am learning alongside them. It also has made me feel confortable with the information so that I'm not stressing out trying to find the facts myself and so I'm saving so much planning time.

How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? It's encouraged me to make contact with our local historian at the archives so I can find local stores I do not know about - as I'm not a local in my small town.

“I've sectioned this amazing kit to fit with our school 2-year inquiry planning. Using selected stories at the beginning of each term has enabled akonga to gain a home connection with our inquiry concept for the term. It has also been great for them to learn some significant history around Aotearoa”
