“Our new entrant akonga loved playing and teaching each other the games from the kit and provided them with hours of fun on the learning stations. We had many class discussions, unpacking and developing oral language. We also used this kit to support our tamariki with higher needs in smaller groups. Such a wonderful resource that can be used by all.”

“The bricks kit was met with much excitement when it arrived. Children were quickly engaged in building and the te reo resource that came with it was easy to use. The only trouble we had was that the lego instructions were hard to follow and the children found it difficult to complete the projects.”

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Vocabulary Expansion: Farming involves a vast array of specialised terminology related to crops, livestock, equipment, and agricultural practices. Learners can expand their vocabulary by learning and using these farming-specific words. This not only helps them understand the subject matter but also improves their overall language skills.

“We used the Bricks Farm as part of our Measurement unit and problem-solving with the addition of our leftover LGL resources. The children were sent problems from LGL to begin with and then as they solved these they were given bricks and a seed pot. Ultimately they were given a math problem of having to develop scale farms to accommodate the planting of vegetables and herbs. They needed to design a farm using elements of measurement. My kids loved solving these problems. I loved how I could integrate past kits into this learning.”
