In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? dIt has certainly improved as I could see in their lunchboxes the food that was packed. In our school, we are provided free fruits and veggies too. Earlier, they were not into eating but now they are trying to taste them. Great and a positive change to se

“Thank you, School Kit, myself and my class students really enjoyed learning about the plants, their life cycle, plants' parts, seeing the seeds how do they look like also planting the seeds. Kids had so much fun while planting the seeds and seeing the plants sprouting out. Every morning and every afternoon they were looking after their own plants by making sure they pour enough water, it's in the sunlight and it's covered with soil too. One of the student's said, ";I like looking after my plant just like my own little baby brother."; As a teacher, I had fun too seeing the plants grow day by day. Another important thing, great to have a collection of veggies and herbs. These days kids don't eat enough veggies and they hardly knew much about herbs. We also learnt about herbs and I learnt too. WOW, a free amazing resource to use. Thanks to New World too for this kit. Thanks to School Kit again for delivering them free.”

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? We went down a slightly different path as the students were interested in learning about growing plants etc (while we did so in class). They did become more aware of what types of veges they eat and their family bought each week.

“The Kit was a wonderful learning experience for the class. We used it as the 'hook' to learn about the life cycle of plants, parts of plants and how plants grow. The class enjoyed the coding and 'math' thinking and also did some amazing report writing about what they learned. They even wrote a persuasive letter to explain why they should be LGL club members. Thank you for the effort and time that your team put into the kit. We also discussed enjoying and eating vegetables and found out about each other's favourite veges.”
