Term 4 2018 Library Tour – Cambridge / Te Awamutu

Friday 16th November 2018
Living Library Tour: Ngā Pakanga o Waikato: The Waikato Wars 

​On Friday 16 November 2018 the annual SLANZA Waikato / Bay of Plenty Library Tour took a fresh perspective on library and the curriculum and hired a bus and guide to tour Waikato War sites. 

The 28 participants included a mix of mostly primary and secondary school librarians and their teachers, including history teachers.

Each stop of this sobering and thought provoking tour generated rich conversation and a new respect for the history on our doorstep.  

To support the tour, each school received a National Library bag containing the new Curiosity Cards Kit.  To save on paper, each bag also had a tag containing the url http://bit.ly/S2SNZHistory which lists direct links to support resources including the Curiosity Cards and other key National Library Services to Schools resources.
​
The Waikato War Driving Tour includes 13 sites of which our tour included the last four - Rangiaowhia, Kihikihi, Orakau and Pirongia/Alexandra Redoubt.​
