“What an incredible kit the As I Saw It has been. Our student engagement has been extremely high and the students have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the learning opportunities that have arisen. We really appreciate the extension you gave us with the second lockdown we couldn't complete it by the beginning of September. Attached are some photo's from both Cheree Cowsill's and my own class - we have worked collaboratively on them. I've had a student teacher working in our classroom also who has enjoyed the unit. We look forward to the next challenge! Thank you very much.”

“I found this product very good. And the students found lots of things to discuss about. They loved the props and the historical element to it. I would love to see more like this in the future especially on different aspects of kiwi history. It has also taught me more about nz history as I am not a New Zealander.”
