How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Lots of discussion while making the kit up. Many children hadn't made lego before and the ones who own lego, helped and talked through the challenges. Great problem solving.

“It was great that the children were able to follow instructions to make each vehicle before using the kit. The te reo integration was good. It would be great used with a small group, rather than whole class as I did it.”

“The bricks farm kit was a very good kit. It generated a lot of discussion within the class and was a great spring board for a lot of learning. The children enjoyed using the bricks to create a story sequence for a story that they then created collaboratively and this then led on to many more story writing opportunities. It also lead to further learning into farming, animals and growing things which will be further developed throughout the year.”

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Lots of great oral language ... talking and listening. We are a rural school and most of our students live on farms and were excited to talk about the machinery on their farms.

“What a super way to end the term, just when we were all getting a bit tired and fighting off bugs. Great to see lots of collaboration, team building and children who wouldn't usually buddy up, working together. Some children were in their absolute element helping those who needed support. Everyone was super proud to show off our class farm at our parent interviews. Lots of perseverance and chatting, and followed on beautifully from a Farm Safety day we had the week before. Thank you Countdown and School Kit!”

“I have several neuro diverse learners and this was a great way to have buddy time with more socially able children. They focus on the task of building and were able to have lovely side by side conversations. The blocks provided the context for some lovely social chat around asking, waiting, negotiating etc”
