How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? They were able to put themselves into different 'shoes' with the objects and information cards.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? It is important to teach NZ history and we found the resource very informative. It was cool to have lots of resources about one part of our history.

“Some of the links with the online resources didn't go anywhere/ There were no further explanations for it. Some of the instructions were unclear and so we had to adapt/change things.

“We have only just had the opportunity to do the Tuia 250 kit in our MLE but luckily it coincided with the flotilla arriving in Wellington AND a trip to Te Papa Tongarewa. We had a full day with our whole class introducing the characters, working out the story and playing guess who. The following day, those who were really engaged and wanted more, continued with the items and exhibition design. There are 18 in total. What an incredibly engaging activity. They couldn't get enough and have gone on to do more exploration into that time in Aotearoa's history.”

“These kits are so motivating and well prepared for busy teachers needing opportunities to deliver learning in different ways. This was perfect for our multi level classroom.
