The DIY World Records Schoolkit box has been a fun activity for us to explore during the final weeks of term. Students in my class enjoy competition and so they value the 'challenge' factor. It also has been good for including student voice within the class, as they have come up with creative ideas to set records for. It gave students opportunities to showcase interesting strengths or differences in a positive light.
