2019EDUCATION PROGRAMME

PHONE: 06 759 6060 | WWW.PUKEARIKI.COM | WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/PUKEARIKI

Our Education Team are excited to present the 2019 Puke Ariki Museum, New Plymouth and Aotea Utanganui Museum of South Taranaki education programmes.

Our Ministry of Education contract provides us with LEOTC (Learning Experiences Outside The Classroom) funding for Social Science in the New Zealand Curriculum Levels 1-8.

The nature of our exhibitions, both permanent and temporary provide valid learning opportunities for other curriculum areas such as Science, Geography, Technology and The Arts.

At Puke Ariki we are providing three new programmes and have updated others. During the latter part of 2018 our permanent galleries received comprehensive refreshes. These developments allow additional experiences to be incorporated into lessons. The temporary gallery will have three new exhibitions running consecutively throughout the year.

At Aotea Utanganui there are three exciting programmes available. These have been updated to utilise resources and gallery spaces.

Taranaki Research Centre | Te Pua Wānanga o Taranaki is the gateway for students to learn more about the history of our province. Students will have the opportunity to meet with specialist researchers and curators in the Heritage team at Puke Ariki.

Our teams provide a hands-on, interactive experience that caters for multiple learning styles, ensuring the best possible learning outcomes for students. All topics link directly to the New Zealand Curriculum.

NGĀ KŌRERO MŌ TE MOUNGAAll year: All year levelsThis popular lesson is back again in 2019. Taranaki people both Māori and Pākehā have a strong affinity with the mounga. Considered a tūpuna (ancestor) to Māori and also very special to Pākehā, it is more than a mountain. Its natural beauty is enhanced by its unique flora and fauna, national park status, physical features and the many stories that are shared about its history.

NGĀ KŌRERO MŌ TE MOUNGAFor junior (New entrant - Year 10) studentsIn this lesson students will learn about the advances in research and the technological developments supporting conservation that are being applied to make Taranaki predator free by the year 2050.

The mounga dominates the region with a fascinating geological and significant cultural history that will be explored in this hands-on lesson. Exploration time in the revamped Mounga Taranaki and Taranaki Naturally exhibition galleries will provide opportunities to check out ‘the bat cave’ and ‘sound interactive’. A must for any mountain based topic!

NGᾹ KŪKŪWAI O TARANAKI / TARANAKI WETLANDSAll year: All year levelsWetland ecosystems are extremely diverse ranging from stagnant bogs to fast flowing heavily oxygenated rivers, providing a refuge to a huge variety of plants and animals.

Tangata whenua have long used wetlands ‘kūkūwai’ for growing and harvesting food, transportation and many cultural traditions. Sadly these ‘kidneys of the land’ are now restricted to fragmented pockets dotted throughout a modified landscape. It is for this reason ‘kūkūwai’ need ongoing protection and awareness to elevate their status.

NGᾹ KŪKŪWAI O TARANAKI / TARANAKI WETLANDSFor junior (New entrant - Year 10) studentsDo you know your pūwaha (estuary) from your poharu (bog), and your mātātā (fernbird) from your rakiraki (duck)? In this lesson students will learn about some of the different kinds of wetlands and the wildlife that utilise them. They will also learn why these special tāonga areas are culturally, socially and environmentally important and need ongoing protection. The Taranaki Naturally gallery will be

explored in this lesson.

ILLUSION: NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS Term 1 (until 5th March 2019)Years 5-10 International touring exhibition, Illusion: Nothing is as it Seems comes to Puke Ariki from the Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Combining magic with psychology, optical illusions with scientific reasoning and confusion with clarity, Illusion offers an insight into the human mind. Exploring the theme of illusion through artworks, this exhibition will satisfy curiosity and challenge thinking.

Illusion was curated by psychologist, author and magician Richard Wiseman, and was researched by deception artist/escapologist Paul Gleeson.

With over 20 exhibits designed to boggle the mind and featuring a host of installations that deceive the eyes of the visitor, Illusion shows that what we perceive is often radically different from the reality of what our eyes observe.

Students will have the opportunity to explore this exhibition and be amazed by the things they see. They will learn about perception from this exhibit, and view optical and audio illusions exploring magic and art. They will be able to question the technology used and the effects exhibits have on them.

It will challenge their thinking and allow them to consider the concept of “Nothing is as it Seems!” Teachers may consider using this as an opportunity to explore how people see things in different ways.

New Zealand Curriculum links: Science: This topic covers elements of the Nature of Science: The Physical World (Physical Inquiry and Physics concepts) Levels 3-5. Technology: Links can also be made to The Nature of Technology. Levels 3-5.The Arts: Links can also be made to Understanding the Arts in context. Levels 3-5.

IMPORTANT: This exhibition may not be suitable for epilepsy sufferers or people with sensitivity to light/sudden movement and ‘the element of surprise’. Caution is urged and young people with these kinds of issues should be accompanied by a designated adult. Discretion may also be required for young school children.

Links will be made to the time and place of their development. Students will have hands-on experiences with some of the features of the exhibition. Comparisons to present day inventions and earlier examples in the gallery can be made.

Students will explore the gallery, locate and identify items and learn about their attributes. Older students will explore the differences between ‘sustaining’, ‘breakthrough’, and ‘disruptive’ innovations.

OPTION 2- THOMPSONS’ HUTAll year: New entrant - Year 10 Originally built around 1920, for a station worker in east Taranaki and gifted to the museum in 1977, it has recently been refurbished to present a glimpse of urban Taranaki stories of the 1930s during the depression. It features furniture, household items, dress ups, a digital photo album showing images from the Swainson /Woods collection and design features of the era. Its interactive interior has a variety of objects to look at and compare with other objects in the Taranaki Life gallery.

A great opportunity for students to experience a former time in Taranaki’s history and make comparisons to their lives today. Hear the stories of the people featured, look at the interior of the hut and the decorations, furnishings and functions of the space. A great opportunity to compare the massive leap in comfort and technological development in the time since then.
