How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? It’s good to have some physical articles to spark curiosity for the students but I’m still trying to figure out how to put this into a comprehensive unit with learning outcomes
How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? We’re quite lucky that we already have a great relationship with our local iwi, marae and connect regularly with our local environment and stories. I would like to create my own kit for our specific area

“It was awesome to have the kit to give the kids some tactile aspects to their Learning. The online component was a little tricky for some students to follow (the vertical layout tripped them up, the amount of words was off putting).”
