In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? This has really made children think about what they are eating and they started noticing when they had healthy or non-healthy food.

“This was a great program. It was a little tricky for us to incorporate, as it was really an inquiry unit of it's own and we had a school inquiry that needed doing as well, however the kids really enjoyed and it walk around the school with their badges proudly on! A lot of it was a bit tricky for our Year 1s and they needed a lot of support. We also left out some of the activities as they couldn't achieve them. The Year 2s in our school did it too and said it was perfect for their age however, I think a bit of it was too sophisticated for our level!”
