“Our class really enjoyed this kit, it was very relevant to what we were studying and the students really began to understand the way different people might look at a situation completely differently depending on their world view. They also enjoyed creating a museum display in the room and writing up the information on the cards. One of the best kits I have done so far.”

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? There is a lot to learn and research but the different perspectives are important to teach to give a wider range of experiences to our students. I enjoyed the links. I often worry about verifying the information so as not to mis-represent our history.

“The hook for the kit was a lot of fun for the kids and gave them a bit of real world perspective. There was a lot of information to take in with the cards but it was very relevant to the students being able to engage with our early Maori history.”

The children were shocked at the differing opinions and I think the learning was profound. THANK YOU so much for this opportunity and an incredible resource.”

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives?

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? The activity I made up was a Year 5 child bumping into a teacher and spilling the teacher's coffee all over her outfit and the child did not even apologise or stoped to check if the teacher was ok. So, we investigated what everyone was doing at that momen

“As I saw It' is a complex kit. It took me a while to get my head around it, but once I clicked in all the links in the teacher guide it was easier to navigate. My students enjoyed having the large cards with the different characters' experiences and the books suggested in the links were very helpful. I liked the linked with the Auckland Museum and the objects included in the kit. It is a fantastic way of teaching history! I will use it again. I hope next time we use it, we don't get interrupted by a lockdown.”

“Hi team, the kit was one of the most exciting things we have done in the classroom to date! As a BT it was slightly confusing to follow the planning initially but once I began to unpack the learning and adapt it to my class the students loved it! It was the highlight of the term! Ill attach some photos below. This took most of the term and we even turned our classroom into a museum for other classes to pop in and see. We then reflected on it and our students all couldn't get enough of it so much that the learning trickled home and parents even mentioned it! Definitely recommend!! Lots more photos where those came from.”
