“This kit provided a platform for my learners to start their journey exploring stories of our area and others around the country. The high quality stories and tokens/artefacts provided interesting talking points and a visual and tactile aspect to the learning which made exploring the timelines and stories interesting and varied.”

“I really enjoyed using this kit and it was a great support to my teaching and also boosted my knowledge and brought in aspects I hadn't considered. The children loved the resources and were excited to work out what they meant and discover more detail about them online. They sparked great discussions and debates in class. The only disappointment with the kit was that it arrived well after expected and a few of the pages were not available when I was covering them in class, so the kit was only half as useful as it could have been, due to timing. I am looking forward to next year when I can do this again and will have the resources all ready to go.”

“I found the resource amazing. My year seven and eight students actively participated in all aspects of the programme. The oral language discussion that came from the access to the materials allowed for us to walk students through a timeline of events.”
