How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? YES! Our kids really found it hard to view an event through a different lens so this kit helped with that that.

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.”

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? As they were each a different character and they learnt their side it made comparing perspectives and seeing other points of view much easier in a very engaging way.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? It was a very engaging way of teaching my students about NZ history, definitely a way in which they will not forget this particular piece of history.

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? As above - it was important to understand that there were different stories and different perspectives and some times missing information.

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? I really liked how we saw the stories from different perspective and we had to question why only one story had become known. I delved into the history even more and found out more about Cooks arrival in New Zealand.

“I really enjoyed the story and the cards. We worked cooperatively to construct a time line. We were interrupted by Covid and when we came back my school expected me to be working on a new inquiry topic. Will try again next year, if it fits in with our Inquiry topics. I found the unit hard to follow as the instructions weren't clear enough.”

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? We had some really good in depth discussions about how we receive information and the many types of information we receive. It was easy to find real life situations within our school and media of today. As well as look back in time and how over many histo

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? We include a lot of NZ history into our curriculum already so it was really nice for the pupils to dive straight in with a base knowledge of this aspect of NZ history.

“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.”
