“The students in my class really enjoyed learning about the values that people who grow up on farms have, and how they use them in their everyday life. They researched farmers from all over the world - from NZ, to China to Canada!”
“Loved it! The students enjoyed the scavenger hunt at the beginning of the unit. They found it quite funny, and incredible how each person in the world is connected by a maximum of 6 degrees of separation. The students have loved interviewing the farmers of their choice and have gotten a real buzz out of getting responses from them as well!”
“This was an interesting kit. We weren't sure about it when we first looked at it, but the students got in to it once they understood it a bit more. Unfortunately, we had to rush through it as we had our speech finals to get through. Thanks for another thoughtful kit!

“Even though my class have easily made connections to people who grew up on farms (we live in rural Mid Canterbury) the discussions and connections they have made have been very worthwhile. It has broadened their understanding of the connections they have outside of their close circle of family and friends. The interviewing techniques they practiced have shown them the importance of actually listening to the answer, rather than assuming they know what the reply will be. Another great kit enjoyed by my Year 7 class.”
