Researching Taranaki Identities

We've enjoyed recently working with students from Mangorei School on a Specially Tailored programme about 'Significant Taranaki Identities'.

Students discover the variety of research resources in the Taranaki Research Centre

The students were museum detectives, solving a series of clues that led through the museum galleries and exhibitions in search of photographs, objects and information about significant Taranaki identities such as Truby King, Chew Chong and Maui Pomare. The following week the classes returned to the Taranaki Research Centre, where students put their research and inquiry learning skills to work to discover information about their chosen Taranaki identity. 

See our earlier post about the fantastic 'Boostergrams' that Mangorei School sent after their visit.

Would your students enjoy a similar programme during your next visit to Puke Ariki? Contact us for more information.
