Quake '31 We have four programmes available for different age groups. All include a visit to our 1931 Earthquake exhibition.
Quake ’31: The day that rocked Thomas’s world
Māui and Te Ao Māori Years 1 - 4
Thomas’s birthday started well until the solid ground beneath his school began to rock and roll. It was the day of the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake and Thomas’s hometown would never be the same again. Thomas's story is told using a unique Kamishiabai story theatre box. A visit to the earthquake exhibition follows the story session, where students will see real items from the earthquake, some featured in the story.
Quake ’31: Resilience / Citizenship / Our Place
Years 4 - 8
Let us know your focus for a programme based on the events, causes and consequences of the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake. Alternatively, book our standard programme: After a short participatory drama, students hear stories of the heroism and determination of ordinary people caught up in a catastrophic situation. A visit to the exhibition and an interactive game highlight the need for preparedness and resourcefulness in difficult times.
Quake ’31: Breaking News! Years 5 – 8 Travel back in time to arrive in Hawke’s Bay moments before the 1931 earthquake. Team up to report live from the scene as the disaster unfolds. Drawing on images and stories in the museum’s earthquake exhibition and archives, students research details of what happened on the day and collaborate creatively to record ‘eye witness’ accounts that can be edited into a full TV news report back at school.
When Māui, legendary demigod and mischiefmaker, fished up the North Island from under the sea, his enchanted hook became our coastline – from Napier to Mahia Peninsula. Drawing on the stories and taonga of Ngāti Kahungunu, we explore the beliefs, culture and everyday lives of local people in earlier times. We look at ocean voyaging and explore the connections between the ancient Polynesian world of the movie Moana and the Māori world, te ao Māori. Years: Dates: Duration: Venue: Learning Areas:

Hear stories of their life in England, leaving home, life on board ship, arrival to Napier and the beginning of their life in a new country.
