What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? We did a whole study on the Olympics through many curriculum areas - it was great!

“This went so well with learning about the Olympics and talking about measurements on a daily basis. The students were so excited to make records of their own and enjoyed all of the different roles the kit allowed. As always, such a well resourced kit and energy levels were high when working with it. Thank you School Kit!”

“I don't feel like I did this kit justice - but the class did have fun and enjoyed the learning involved. They did benefit from the mathematical language used within authentic contexts. I feel like if I were to do this kit again, I would put more thought into helping my students initially come up with more easily measureable ideas, as this took a lot to refine.”

“The DIY World Records 24 Schoolkit was a fun hands-on resource that allowed my children to get creative to create their own world record events, use their problem solving skills, while adding healthy group competition that my Year 5/6 children thrived on. The kit was well-organized, featured a variety of challenges and activities that catered to different learning styles and needs in my class. The instructions were easy to follow and all materials needed were easy to source. A fantastic resource that could easily be adapted to be used at any time of the school year!”
