An awesome resource as it provided so much discussion and Inquiry with collaborative learning. We did Inquiry projects on farms in NZ and got everything from salmon farms to orchards. It also provoked discussion and research on items we get from the supermarket such as chocolate and sugar. A really excellent starter for juniors to learn how to do an Inquiry. Thanks so much.

Such an engaging and exciting hands-on learning opportunity for our learners. We loved the tuakana teina aspect of the kit as we needed some help with the construction of the larger items. The reo was also so engaging and enjoyable for our tamariki.
