“I really love this resource, we did not unpack it as much as I would like to, as I found out about this great resource at a course, after we had conducted our own local ANZH inquiry. However going forward this will be a brilliant resource to use again and go into greater depth.”

“Thank you for this mahi. As a teacher, I have found this resource very useful for bringing places and times in our Aotearoa History to the front of my mind. The students have enjoyed researching and discovering stories in our local area and wider. We have enjoyed using the Claim story when researching about pounamu trading and are looking forward to using Chinkon for Anzac Day.”

How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? Great. I loved the easy reference wheel and coded overarching learning objectives to refer to for each level of activity. It's surprising how much reflection I made on my own education, feeling embarrassed for the lack of prior knowledge I had about some of the material. For me having background links provided for me to further my own understanding was v helpful.
How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? Yes I think the students will be far more engaged if it's something immediately relevant to them in their local rohe, which is why I started with 'observatiion' first. We discovered the pepeha for our area had a lot more to it.

“The year 6,7,8, class that I come in to do release time engaged with about 4 postcard topics this term. While a small group of engaged students would have been ok to run with the website as is, I had to adapt the teaching of the material by using group collaborative learning and whole class led by me. Generally the class are able readers but I tailored each task by selecting the videos to watch, adding in an important relevant song that represented the theme and group writing and practice questiining skills to gain deeper thinking. The kit is full of relevant research and links all ready prepared, that would otherwise be very time consuming for students to navigate themselves. I thought having the skills and how to videos for research was helpful for students taking on their own Inquiry.”

How has this kit impacted your confidence in delivering the new Aotearoa NZ's histories curriculum content? It took a while to get my head around this kit but having this resource makes me more confident when thinking about using this again!
How has this kit motivated you to explore the history or your local area? Could you use this model? It showed me that there was so much unknown still out there for me to discover. This is something I want to use not only as a whole class inquiry but I think this would be great to use as independent reading tasks too.

“Students enjoyed the website although for many of my students, it was aimed too high - even the lower level activities. This is something that I personally will have to work on. Having the photos was amazing - they started lots of discussion not only at school but at home as well. I am aiming to continue using the kit next term as students want to learn more,.”
