Description

Our A Week in New Zealand History resource explores key moments within Aotearoa New Zealand’s history. This resource serves as a bite-sized piece of Aotearoa’s history to stir discussion, pique interest, and get you started.
 
In this set, our Discussion Google Slides and PDF explore 16 events from the month of January (see the full list below). The resource has clear links to the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum for Year 4-6 and Year 7-8.
 
Each slide contains a brief paragraph explainer, a discussion question, an inquiry prompt, and two “Dig Deeper” links to websites, videos, and photos.


NEW UPDATE: We’ve added QR posters for each event. This gives you the option to use this resource as digital slides or as interactive posters displayed around your classroom/learning space.
