“We found this school kit very well organised and very connected to the Histories Curriculum. We were able to narrow our focus and to choose relevant activities for our particular situation as a Catholic school. The resources are wonderfully presented and very engaging. We appreciated the visit nd help in planning successfully for our class, as well as allowing us some flexibility due to the challenges of teaching and learning in 2022.”

How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? I couldn't see which one was about Hawkes Bay - I felt that the resources, like the wheel thing, while novel, made navigating the kit more difficult.

How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? My confidence in teaching New Zealand content was never in doubt - it has provided resources to teach events from outside of my area, which is good.

What was the impact of knowing the stories in this kit were developed in collaboration with their iwi/whānau/community? I think this was overshadowed by the array of information available. The importance of stakeholder collaboration was not made clear to me.

“I was blown away by all the resources included in the kit. It was comprehensive and the website was full of resources. It was overwhelming and I didn't know where to start. The unit plan was quite loose, which made navigating and using the resources more difficult than it needed to be.”

What was the impact of knowing the stories in this kit were developed in collaboration with their iwi/whānau/community? I have a bilingual class so my students were familiar with Ka Huru Manu. Relating ANZH to pepeha made it personal for those of different iwi. I chose the postcards related to or close to their own rohe.

“As a team of 4, we teach Year 4-6. We loved the variety of resources and the vibrancy of the information. Some of the reading material was a bit high for our younger students so we were very selective with what we gave them. We found great School Journals that also supported our programme.”
