How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? A great deal for me and students. I researched further into the life of Tupaia because it was the first time I've heard or learnt about him. The resources that supported this study made it easier to teach from a Pacific perspective.

“Fatastic kit. My year 7-8 enjoyed it. They were fascinated with the individual items where some were familiar to them and others they had to research how they were used. The character cards were visually appealing and it supported critical thinking about their lives 250 years ago. I found the teacher's planning detailed and helpful too. It guided me well throughout the journey and I've integrated it to our theme 'Navigators of the Pacific'. Students were so empowered by the life of Tupaia as one of their ancestors. Thank you for creating a historic and educational kit. We appreciate it!”
