How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? Good. Although they found the timeline difficult as there was lots of crossing over of times between characters.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? Was great lesson to teach different perspectives of people. It taught me to look at two sides of the story.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? Teaching our tamariki how our country got to here it is today is so important. By gaining a better (and more well rounded) understanding of our history helps them form their own ideas and opinions on the future for NZ.

“Great kit. We really enjoyed it. Possibly the coolest 'aha' moment came when they realised that even though they had all witnessed exactly the same event that they all saw it 'differently' and had a slightly different perspective of what had occurred. This has transferred into they life in many different ways and is making them more aware and understanding of others.”

“This is my first time using School Kit. Not only did I really enjoy it, so did the Yr 5-6 class. The use of different materials and having items students could connect to physically really added to the depth of the story and enthusiasm for the topic. It was easy to draw on relevant ideas for them in our everyday school life as well as outside.”
