In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? This kit became a springboard for further student inquiry- lots of discussions raised during lunch-time too :)

“Absolutely awesome resource! Sooooooo much excitement (not just from me!). Many parents made contact with me just to pass on how enthusiastic their children were, right from the beginning. Loved the letterbox and classroom display for the 'baby' plants. Children took great pride in wearing their badges and took our 'test' very seriously. The 'applications' were at just the right level for my class (which has a huge range of abilities in it) and plenty of additional resources made the whole integration fun (not stressful at all). Even my most reluctant writers were raring to go! We were able to easily tie this learning into our Science study on light and heat-and are making links this Term to learning about the effect of the Sun and the Moon on our Earth's resources. 'Thank You' just doesn't feel like enough to say. Really appreciate the amazing resource kit you created and can't believe it was free. Again-thank you.”

“Me and the students really loved this kit. The resources were easy to use and adapt to Year 0/1s. It tied in with our learning topic for the term and it was very exciting for the kids to see the soil expanding and also watch the plants grow. The students came back today after the holidays wondering how much the plants had grown. We are going to plant them in our Enviro Garden and hopefully get some vegetables. It was a great initiative, thank you”

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? This kit had ample opportunities for cross-curricular learning through research, writing, measurement, and science.

“My year 3 class absolutely loved the Little Garden League. This was a fantastic way for my students to get hands on experience with planting, growing, and measuring. The clubhouse theme made it even more engaging for them.”

We are now getting a fruit tree to plant in our school too. Children have learnt names of many vegetables. They are sharing what vegetables are in their lunchbox with each other, thanks
