What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? The question cards were good for oral language and the children really enjoyed them. I also used the map for Maths and the dice for reading. The children really enjoyed using the dice.

How did you find the open format of this kit? I found it a bit confusing and I would have liked a bit more guidance. I also found lots of it a bit too advanced for NE children. However, we did use it and the children liked the parts we used. I will also revisit it once we have our farm visit.

“It was very unfortunate that we had only just started this kit when we went into lockdown. Our school farm visit was cancelled and we are waiting for it to be rescheduled. I will revisit the kit once we get our farm visit.”

“Our children only just started to explore this wonderful School Kit before entering lockdown! We had engaged with some introductory activities and discussion which presented some promising future learning in this area. The amount of flexibility this kit offered was amazing. I found I could explore this topic in so many different ways which also meant that I could adapt the learning to suit my learners better! I look forward to getting this back up and running this term.”
