How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? My class really connected with making links between resources and the four different sections - NZ people, government, Navy and the world. Breaking it up into these sections supported my students a lot. Getting the students to think from different perspec

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? I think this kit has given them skills which they will able to use when considering other historical inquiries in the future. In particular, thinking about different points of view, rather than just their own opinion on a topic.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The physical resources were probably the most engaging to the students. They loved how they looked and how they felt authentic. The timeline was also useful. Being encouraged to manipulate points on the timeline throughout the learning really supported an
This resource was my first time using a School Kit resource and it was fantastic! I loved how straightforward the plan was - allowing me as the teacher to mould my lessons to the students in front of me. Even though the resources were advanced, my year 7&8 class were still able to make connections and take good learning from them. I look forward to being able to pull this kit out again in future with another class.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The decision making card made the students have their own perspectives
The lesson went very well and the students were highly engaged throughout. The topics of Aotearoa New Zealand's relationships with Pacific states, the Navy's participation in international conflicts, and considering missing perspectives were all very thought-provoking and sparked insightful discussions among the students. I was impressed by the students' curiosity and eagerness to learn about these topics, especially since they had not heard about nuclear before. It was encouraging to see them asking thoughtful questions and expressing their own opinions and viewpoints. The teacher did a great job of facilitating the discussion and providing relevant background information, which allowed the students to gain a deeper understanding of the topics. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on considering missing perspectives, as this helped the students to see each side of the story and avoid making assumptions. Overall, the lesson was a great success and it was evident that the students had learned a lot. They left the class with a better understanding of Aotearoa New Zealand's role in the world and the importance of considering different perspectives.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Those which compared the NZ view, Navy view and world view. Placed the children globally.
The method of historical inquiry was excellent for getting students to inquire - consider, understand, look, inspect, zoom out, zoom in. We are looking to use this model in our NZ Histories units. Thank you.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The physical items in the kits and the Spotify playlists
Our students loved the items that came with this kit! I loved how each era studied had its own pattern and the corresponding resources in the kit had this pattern on them. The Spotify playlists were fantastic and set the scene for our study time. This kit was a great introduction to students creating their own self inquiries on the Nuclear Age.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? We utilised the resources through the Digital platform (hard copy did not arrive) and the student website. As we are an Auckland school will look to incorporate the Museum trip as an EOTC opportunity
