“This kit came with an amazing set of resources. My class absolutely loved looking at all of the aflrtifacts and becoming historians. The pepeha aspect fit really well with our learning at school this year and we enjoyed learning about the te reo maori place names using ka huru manu. We managed to decode all the postcards and find the places on a NZ map. As my class were only year 4, we went through the tasks of only a couple of postcards. This was a bit tricky for them, which I knew it would be before we started. We loved looking at the photos like historians would and thinking about what was happening in the photo. We have not yet explored all the places where something happened, but I know this is an amazing resource I can continue to use in the future.”

“Aotearoa Histories Kit - Mana Rangatira. Such a beautiful kit that has been developed in consultation with iwi/hapori/whanau. History is such a taonga and we are very lucky to have korero tuku iho passed onto us to share with our tamariki. I am wanting to continue to explore one postcard each term and appreciate the time, effort and mahi that has gone into producing these kits.”
