“An outstanding kit. The class was motivated from the start especially with the code cracker. The kit provided many opportunities to explore new skills and look at vegies and gardens and how we could look at trying new food. Best part was allowing the kids to get their hands dirty, fix up the school garden boxes and prepare the soil which linked to the eco system. We had looked at the bugs in our soil and encouraging life and this fitted in perfectly.”
