A minor issue in the scheme of things but the box was hard to use as it wasn't easy to cut out.”

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? As written in the first box I have been able to use the kid for science, literacy, numeracy and Maori.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? We are going to continue with our garden, so I think we will go down the technology route and bring in health and PE and keeping ourselves healthy. Technology will be food tech - how can we use the vegetables we have on hand in a tasty and healthy way.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? As we are yet to reap the rewards of what we've sown it's hard to say if the kit has promoted healthy eating just yet. But we have discussed the information about character and we've looked at their key properties, so tamariki know which is high in Vitami

“I have loved this kit! It was my first School Kit and it just happened to tie in nicely to our science unit of Change. We have loved watching our seedlings grow. I have made worksheets so we can keep a track of our plants growth and draw each stage. I have also used this information for maths by getting the kids to order some of the plants (up to 5 at a time) by their growth, then find which plant has grown the most in the shortest amount of time and write me an equation showing this. They also had to make a timeline with our initial information so we could work out which plant would sprout first. We'velearnt the names in Maori, as well as how to ask about each plant in Maori. We have also used the information about each plant for our reading programme. It's been wonderful!”
