In what ways has this kit improved student awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? The kit has prompted lots of discussion around healthy food as children's food experiences are varied. A big plus for our tamariki is that they now realise that it doesn't take much to grow your own veggies.

How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? It has definitely helped tamariki identify more vegetables, as many students were not previously aware of all the veggies in the kit. We continue to watch our plants over this term and are excited to see how they grow.

“The kit is very well presented, and included enough individual resources for the class. The tamariki loved all the club membership badges etc. We are still working with the kit in Term 4 as it didn't arrive until late Term 3. We have finished the planting of the seedlings and are now watching them grow.”
