In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? We have had an ongoing statistics unit focusing on the contents of our lunch boxes. We also have integrated the history of our local environment learning about what food was traded with the Māori and Settlers, growing food and working with community garde

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Much more aware that 'fresh' food is different to packaged 'fruit'. Pre Garden League lots of children stated that their 'fruit strips' e.t.c. were fruit because it had a picture of fruit on the front.

“The best thing about this kit was it actually had children trying new foods. Doing it in the classroom with peers encouraged them and the clubs 'Grow, protect, taste' motto was easily remembered and called upon.”
