How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? It's made me realize how much learning can come from just a single photo.

How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? We have done a few projects looking at how Maaori grew plants and how maramaataka influenced our country and why that is important to our history and now.

“My class loved the pack. They enjoyed looking at the photos and learning about New Zealand history. We made posters with the photos we had and researched about when and where they were taken and what significance they made to who we are today. I am at a school where there isn't much curriculum focus on Aotearoa histories and I have enjoyed showing the resources around and having other classes learn from our posters.”

“Beautiful kit. Easy to navigate for ākonga to learn valuable historic events . We started with a place that I had visited and that my ākonga can visit as I believe they can now view the memorial (Michael Joseph Savage) with a deeper appreciation of all the history behind it.”

“This kit was perfect for my classroom this term. The box of hands-on materials was engaging for my students and many of the online stories were able to be interwoven to suit our specific topics. One of the stories in particular was very local so this tied in perfectly and meant the students could instantly connect with the information presented.”
