Love the resources Hinemoa has at Top Teaching Tasks. They are not only fun and engaging activities, but they are also purposeful. No “busy work” here! My students have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Top Teaching Tasks resources we have used, and I love how much time it’s saved me. Thank you Hinemoa.

I have used resources from Top Teaching Tasks, every year and still great. This is my 6th year teaching and still using resources. I had a problem and the problem was solved straightaway (same day). Strongly recommend any teacher who is new to teaching and even teachers who have been around for many years to visit website.

Amazing resources that are practical and easy to use in the classroom. Something for every year level and ability and such a great range. New resources are added regularly and great communication about these. I recently had an issue downloading a file and had a very prompt response to my query and it was sorted. Excellent service! This site is a great timesaver for me and well worth the subscription.

The work that is done behind the scenes to make these resources must be phenomenal! I am so very grateful to have a membership to Top Teaching Tasks and be able to utilise their well-prepared & presented resources in my own classroom. It truly has saved me many hours of thinking, planning, & creating creatively presented resources. Mālō 'aupito/thank you very much.

Kia Ora Koutou,
Just wanted to reach out and tell you how much my year 7 class is enjoying season one of the Aotearoa History podcast this year. It's a favourite part of our week. I hear from parents that students are talking about what we're listening to at home.
I love hearing them link past learning with current episodes and how some of them have gone on to reading more about certain events. This morning we listened to the episode about World War 2. I was so impressed to hear a group of boys talking about Michael Joseph Savage and remembering that he was the PM who introduced benefits and was a PM who looked after the common people.
At my school we always do the PAT Listening Comprehension test at the start of the year, but never do anything with the results. This year I decided that listening skills really need to be developed and that taking notes from listening is a key skill my learners need to learn. I'm so glad I stumbled across this podcast series and your resource to go with it!
I intend to continue with season 2, but I'll listen to the episodes before hand and decide whether my students are mature enough to cope with the content.
Have a fabulous weekend and I love your work!

I have found the Top Teaching Tasks resources to be very thorough and engaging for my students. I found the digital resources very useful during the most recent lockdown - such timesavers! I love the school journal resources, too.

A week in NZ’s history is an amazing resource to complement my reading and inquiry program for my senior students. It builds interest and curiosity and the students want to find out more. Great to have links for further reading supplied for teachers and students.

I have been using the resources from Top Teaching Tasks for years now with students across the primary curriculum levels. They are always engaged with the content and I see real learning happening. I have found the resources to be levelled accurately and because of this I went on to purchase the Reading Membership to help reduce my planning time. I knew I could trust that what was outlined in the overviews of each resource, in relation to skills and content, was going to help my students move forward with their learning intentions.
