Welcome to our Virtual Field Trips to one of Auckland's
cultural and natural icons.
This volcanic cone, one of the 48 volcanic cones and craters that make
up the Auckland volcanic field, has been occupied by people for hundreds
of years.
There are five Virtual Field Trips, one for each compulsory level of
Social Studies in the New Zealand Curriculum. Each Virtual Field
Trip has been developed to meet the
Requirements
of the curriculum.
Each Virtual Field Trip is based around the same core of resources -
photographs and relevant web sites. The focus, learning outcomes and
activities have been adapted to address the strand achievement
objective, Place and Environment 1, at each level.
Students taking a Virtual Field Trip will be Conducting a Social Studies
Inquiry. Each Virtual Field Trip is intended to be an Inquiry based
learning activity, not a complete unit of work. You are free to
decide where and when you can fit the relevant Virtual Field Trip into
your programme.
If you would like additional resources on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and
Cornwall Park contact the
Cornwall Park Visitors Centre
which has an excellent
Education Pack for schools.
