ECE / Early Primary Education Programmes

The educator-led time will take tamariki on a tour of the museum galleries and share some of the wonderful stories that inspire the exhibitions or objects. Students will hear about the Tongue of the Dog, the story of Te Winika and explore different art forms, all the while engaging in activities and discussion to develop their understanding of storytelling and cultural narratives. 

We have two packages available. Each package is 2 hours in length and can take up to 60 students at a time.

• 30-60 minutes (depending on age level of students) with a Museum Educator in the galleries, can be combined with Museum Eye Spy.
• 30-60 minutes (depending on age level of students) with a Museum Educator in the galleries, and the rest of the visit spent in Exscite in self-led play and exploration.
  
  

For a single class (up to 30 students)

• 30-60 minutes (depending on age level of students) with a Museum Educator in the galleries, and 1-hour with a Museum Educator doing a second activity programme of your choosing (or an arts response session), and then time to explore the free parts of the Museum with our Eye Spy activity.
