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.”
