In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? See above
Everything was greatly enjoyed by my Year 4 students. This sparked their enthusiasm for growing vegetables and in fact for trying new vegetables. Indeed we are in the process of resurrecting the school vegetable garden as direct result. It has been amazing to discover how little these students know about growing to feed ourselves. The students absolutely loved the secret codes too!!

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Students have gained more insight and knowledge about the different types of vegetables, how it grows and how it contributes to a healthy self.
Students are engaged and love looking after our garden in the classroom. My little garden gives my students (who arent reguarly exposed to new vegetables) chances to explore and learn.

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? Health! Te Reo vege names. We still might measure them with the ruler. And we wrote about it in our recount story writing. I still want to do paper mache vegetables - the kids make their vegetables their growing, so even if it doesnt survive they get a ve
What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? HEAPS! Refer above.
In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Learning names we also did a nutrition topic in health on side which was a good follow up relating it to the pyramid and what things to have on your plate.
This was my first time doing a School Kit and my class and I absolutely loved it. The activities were very suitable to their year 2 level. The kids are very familiar with vegetable names and get so excited when they have a vege in their lunchox. Cant wait to do another school kit one day soon.

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? Building the little house we looked at geometry and nets, there was some long term learning around this. In technology we looked at our school gardens, used a design thinking process to beautify our garden area and were able to write letters to parents as

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? It allowed our students to try new foods and have many discussions around what is in our lunchboxes, eating 5+ a day, variety and colours.
Thank you so much for the resource, my class enjoyed the whole aspect of learning around the garden and so much so that we are continuing with our learning around the garden in term 4. There was a range of activities to choose from, hands on fun for everyone! Thanks again, we loved this kit!

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? We incorporated Te Reo Maori by researching the maori names for fruits and vegetables, the same with numbers for maths. We created some cool art. We briefly looked at the science behind growing plants - water, sunlight, photosynthesis
What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? we would love to do this all again but spend a whole term on it. There were so many child directed learning opportunities that we just couldn't complete as we ran out of time
In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? We sampled many different vegetables. We talked about who liked what and who had tried something new. It was amazing to see students who previously didn't like a certain vegetable, suddenly change their mind because their peers liked it. The most exciting
Wow! What a fabulous kit! My whole class were completely onboard with this one. I had a very high level of engagement. The children just loved growing and caring for their plant. They also loved sampling a different vegetable each week and trying veggies in different ways - raw, steamed, roasted etc. 100% a very fabulous kit!!

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? Measurement - when plants would grow and their height. Science - germination, types of veges in ground above ground.
What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? More around tasting eating veges so the health aspect is stronger.
In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Maybe more content around tasting new veges would’ve been good too as they couldn’t wait for the plants to grow :joy: Also the focus on healthy eating was not as clear to us as was the need to grow our own veges...
We loved our LGL kit. The amount of build up was perfect for our yr2 class. The game was a particular highlight. The stickers/ characters persona, names of veges and the chart for growth was a good lead in to maths and literacy. Lots of the children were really excited to start a class garden and help protect and grow the veges.

Kids loved applying to be in the league. They were curious to see what happens with their plants

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Apply in their own families and gardens.
In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Students are very eager to taste and make recipes with fresh veggies.
My class has been very motivated by the LGL. They were hooked early by the 'application process' and members' badge. Their interest grew as they learned the characters, only to spike their intrigue with the planting process. The excitement in the class was electric as seedlings began to sprout! Now that we are in Level 1, we look forward to tasting vegetables and making recipes. Thank you for the enriched oral language, writing, measuring and graphing experiences this kit has provided for my children. Very much appreciated.
