“We have only had a couple of weeks to experience this kit as we got it in the school holidays. But has been a great thing to use on fridays and in the afternoons. We will keep using it over this term. A few of the children found it challenging when they did not have success straight away .”

“This kit was great and gave the kids a lot of different opportunities to explore their own learning pathways. It worked well as an integration to our maths program too and real life context to what they were learning! Kids were excited to get the competition going and was so cool watching them create world records!”
