“This was a fantastic school kit. The concept of world records really appealed to the students and followed on well from the Commonwealth Games which we investigated at the start of the term Our students loved being able to come up with their own world record challenges and following the "secret formula"gave them a good criteria to work to. They learned a great deal about writing clear instructions, undertsanding the meaning of words like "superlative", measurable, doable, breakable etc. AND it was a whole lot of fun!”

“My year 1-3 students loved doing this. At times it felt a little chaotic with so many kids doing so many different things. But there was a lot of good learning and social skills being used. Some good measuring and maths too.”

“Our class loved doing the different world records that we came up with. We are a multilevel class of year 0-3. Our records needed to be inclusive of all the different ages and abilities. We enjoyed making different records and adding that little bit of silly. We would highly recommend this kit and think other children would love them as much as we did.”

“Fit with our term theme of 'If you believe you can or can't, you're right'. Students loved finding out about World Records, but also the creative and mathematical side of them also. The kit came with everything that was needed and the support material was great.”
