“The Bricks Farm kit arrived while we were in a big collaborative play space. We set up a farm area that children added sets to each day. They are lego mad so were very excited. What is great about this kit is all of the elements that I will use over and over again, such as the te reo Maori cards and the Kei te...mat. When I first got the kit my children were a little young to make full use of it. They loved building and rebuilding the sets and we talked about farms. Now my year 2s can read the cards to play games and discuss their ideas.”

“The children were very excited to open up the vast array of boxes filled with bricks. We used this as an oral language, problem solving activity during reading and maths rotations. Teacher assistance was required as the children couldn’t follow the instruction on their own”

“What a fantastic initiative! We used this with a mix of Year 1 and Year 5 students and peer collaboration to build the components was great. The older students helped the younger ones to build the Lego and then role-played along with them with the farming aspect. A huge hit all round!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them The milk truck is hard but (child's name) is helping me so we can finish it. I'm coming to get the milk from the cows so I can take it to the supermarket to sell to my friends.
Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The children loved that the farm could be built on the landscape created by the large jigsaw pieces and constantly reconfigured the farm buildings etc on this surface.
What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The kit helped to develop good co operation skills through play, by working with others to achieve a common goal. Helped to develop perseverance and the children worked with learning buddies that changed weekly so it was a great way to encourage dialogue between children who might not otherwise choose to work together.

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? One of the teachers in our collaborative space is a farmer and she was able to share a lot of experiences. We also had a visit from one of the children's pet lamb in early Spring so we were able to remember some of the neat learning we did.
