Year 1 Kea – Howick Historical Village

Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th October

Howick Historical Village is a living history museum on 7 acres of grounds and heritage gardens.

The museum depicts a settlement in the period from 1840 to 1880 and offers visitors an immersive historical experience. 

Explore heritage buildings filled with authentic furniture and textiles and see how people lived in early Auckland. 

As part of our ‘Homes and Journeys’ theme this term, the Year 1 students are planning a visit to the Howick Historical Village. 

The children will be participating in a variety of workshops to learn about and experience what life was like for those living in New Zealand in the 1800s. 

The purpose of the trip is to encourage active exploration of our community’s heritage, material culture and landscape, with a focus on the period from 1840 to 1880. 

As part of our visit the children will be participating in two workshops:

• Toy Time – students are encouraged to think about the differences between their toys and those from the 19th century.  
• Butter Churning – students take turns to churn cream into butter and observe the process if butter-making.

Outdoor Challenge

This programme is a brilliant way to introduce your class to the great outdoors, Kiwi-style!

Students learn about keeping safe and having fun through practical hands-on activities.

They have a go at pitching tents and cooking sausages, get the low-down on tramping, orienteering,

and what to do if things go wrong. Team building opportunities a plenty!
