“I found the kit was not as useful for my students as previous kits from School-Kit. The activities like the 'draw a ..... person' were beyond my students (Y3, the bottom end of the appropriate age range). I found an activity for students to complete about themselves that started discussions. On the other side of the coin it was really beneficial for me professionally.”

“As per the other 2 kits, I have not been able to use them due to my inexperience in running a classroom, 1st year teacher. However, I will put them into my 2020 planning and will give feedback then. Thank you.”

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? Riding the waka together!! And classroom displays to create a better 'feel ' within the room.
