“This kit was good but I found it hard to get the buy in with initial story, the young children found it hard to relate to. The young Year 2's in y class found it hard to fill in the Club Membership forms independently. Could the form be have an easier version next time too? The timing of getting the kits and then the badges had a huge impact on when we could start the kit and then to get buy in for the club. They loved planitng and growing the plants though.”

In what ways has this kit improved student awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Making vegetable soup (from store-bought veggies!) and all being prepared to sample it and give their opinion. Definitely a lot more fresh veggie snacks in their lunchboxes. Several children have gone on to be more involved in their family veggie gardens.

How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? The children sorted, and identified plastic vegetables and named them in their own languages. They told us how they like to eat them at home and if they were raw or cooked. General veggie knowledge was quite good, but all children learnt new veggie names

“The children have loved growing their own plants and some also had their own NW little gardens at home. They loved showing their parents how the plants were growing and couldn't wait to take them home. The resources in the kit were great but I found the online aspect of teacher resources etc this time challenging.”
