“My class loved the Bricks Farm Kit. We worked through the resource and had a lot of learning about farming. Kids researched some of the different types of farming in NZ and learned a lot about the process of running a farm- who works there, what is farmed, what is needed to run the farm (sometimes regional factors- eg climate, soil), who works there and what do they do, where do the outputs from the farm go to market, what products contain the output, and how they are sold. So much learning for city kids. Bricks Farm is still a favourite play activity at choosing time or wet days.”
