“The kids were so excited about this one! They love that they had enough to plant their own plant and be excited to watch it grow. They have had lots of great questions and great curiosity. In our termly reflections a lot of students talked about how much they enjoyed our 'garden club'. To be mentioned in a termly reflection is a big deal because they usually just talk about how much they love golden time and PE and art. A great kit thank you!”

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Can compare growth of plant with own growth. What does a plant need to stay healthy, what does the human body need to stay healthy? Can also extend into learning about the environment and sustainability

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Allowed us to talk about different foods, where food comes from, which foods are healthy, which foods are not healthy. How do we know? Are some foods healthy to start with and then we do things that make them unhealthy?

“It was great to have a whole story to go with the resource. My Year 1's loved the idea of being in a secret club. One little guy went home and told his Mum that long, long ago we all started off as plants! Everyone is engaged in looking after their little seedling and either looking forward to planting it in the class garden or taking it home to plant. They have noticed how different plants grow at different rates and have enjoyed talking about eating and trying different foods,”
