Ah Po was a very early Chinese immigrant to Nelson, before the gold rush. He has descendents in Nelson today. His story has been researched both in China and in New Zealand and we are going to display that research. His story will be supported by stories from immigrant children in the region such as Shetal and her mum who are pictured below. The curriculum connections suit Social Studies and History and Geography objectives. The student material shows both push and pull factors and in some cases, a response to conflict. We are developing a programme to accompany this exhibition and you are welcome to come in and discuss SLOs for your classes.

Cretan StoriesStarting ANZAC Day 2010Marina Bennett completed her Royal Society Fellowship by researching the stories of the people of Crete when they rescued, hosted, protected New Zealand soldiers after the Battle of Crete, May 1941. Marina's origins are in Crete so with the help of her niece she explored her contacts and collected their stories. Quite a network developed and she was able to match some of her Cretan stories with New Zealanders who appeared in them. The exhibition will include panels about the origins of WW2 and the battle for Crete, her stories from Crete, her NZ stories and many photographs and DVDs. It will be clear in the presentation how the research was done. The curriculum connections suit Social Studies yrs 7 -10 and yr 11 History and Yr 12 and 13 Historical research. |

This year we are hosting this national touring show. www.treaty2u.govt.nz/education-resources/index.htm If you are using this website remember that bookings are to be made with Nelson Provincial Museum not Te Papa as is current on the site. The 'Teaching the Treaty' section on this website is separated into year levels from Year 8 Social Studies. For each level from Y8-10, there is a nine-lesson Social Studies unit which is linked to the curriculum. The TREATY 2 U exhibition is particularly relevant to NCEA History students. It is topical for all students studying themes of Social Welfare, Race Relations, and Political Change in L1 and L2. For NCEA L3 History students studying the New Zealand topic, it is an essential visit. There are three sections to the show: 1. Maori and British 180-1840. 2. The Treaty up close. 3. The Treaty today. The exhibition shows replicas of various treaty documents, Monitors showing the 1940 re-enactment of the signing, computer interactives that enable students to track the signatures they see, an interactive called 'Power Game' which allows the students to examine different viewpoints. An education programme is provided with this exhibition and we will present this to your students. |
Teachers get to know your new class and some of its parents. We would like you to bring your students to Isel Park to learn a bit about the history of the park, to learn about Mr Marsden's love of trees, to have a tour of Isel House and to have fun in this great feature of your community
Of course hats will be a necessity but a picnic lunch under the trees would be good too. Classes for this programme will start at 11am and 1pm.
This walk takes you up Trafalgar Street and into South Street and to the Shelbourne Street Cemetery. Students move in groups with a parent using laminated books of photographs of Nelson of the past. Stories of the old city are told and students complete a worksheet as a record of the programme.
This walk traces the setting of Maurice Gee's book World Around the Corner. Students need to have had the book read to them before they come on the walk. A teacher's guide is available on request.
All programmes are available in Term 1, 2010. If possible could you please come prepared to sing a waiata and if the children or you have a mihi that would be fantastic. There may also be a karanga.
Our wonderful stained glass window is used as a focus for this programme. Students will learn some of the natural history and the legends of the creatures depicted. Objects from our collection will be used to support the programme. Students will then make their own 'stained glass' images.
This programme includes the waves of migration, the naming of local iwi and their origins, local stories, and viewing and responding to artifacts and images that represent local iwi.
Students learn about the structure of the wharenui, the patterns inside it and some of the protocols associated with a visit to a marae. Students design their own kowhaiwhai and tukutuku having heard some local legends.
Students will explore stories portrayed in tukutuku in the Iwi gallery. After listening to legends, students will act them out. Retelling helps them to remember the stories.
A programme has been developed using the area where Taonga Puoro are displayed in the lower gallery. We will also use taonga from our school collection and hands on activities will include making and playing a bamboo koauau.
Rehia is the old Maori term referring to pleasure and so 'Nga mahi a te rehia', loosely translates as 'the arts of pleasure'. Maori children, often participated in games for many reasons. Some of these being to keep warm, agile and flexible. There were also many games that encouraged both mental and physical dexterity. Some of these games also required astute mental alertness and memory powers. Children will learn some of these games appropriate to their age.
This programme is suitable for classes planning to visit a marae or attend a hui.
This Maritime exhibition has been researched and designed here in Nelson by an independent designer Sally Papps who did much of the design work for the permanent exhibition in the downstairs gallery at TA445. It will be in a similar style to one held at the Museum when it was located at Isel Park about ten years ago with lots of hands-on opportunities that really appeal to families and we know that schools will take good advantage of the social science that sits behind it.
The historical aspect of the proposed exhibition will appeal to all ages. One element of the exhibition which we hope will illustrate and supplement the exhibition are transcripts from the archives, taken from a family diary of a voyage to Nelson in the 1840s. Extracts from the Gapper family diary will be published twice weekly in the Nelson Mail as the voyage progresses. We have the Surgeon's log from the same voyage which will be presented in the same way. As the voyage takes place the transcripts will also be progressively rolled out through the Museum website.
The design of the exhibition will be in a way that allows live interpretation to take place at weekends and holidays; the surgeon may be at work in his surgery; the Captain may be plotting his course in his day cabin; a new arrival may be in its bassinette in the family cabin. One aspect of the education programme will be a drama set during the voyage where the students will become the passengers on the boat and experience just how it was for all living on board.
This fits many curriculum areas.
It would be advisable for you to Book Early so you are not disappointed
