“There is so much content it could be overwhelming to use for a start but taking one postcard at a time was the way we we started. Some content was pitched a little high for Yr 5/6 so I used this as my reading during a guided reading lesson to support some of my students who find reading challenging.”

“Unfortunately I didn't use this kit at all. It was all a bit much for them. We did look at some of the photos and items and could see how this would work but was too much for my kids and class.”

“I only got my kit at the start of Term 3 unfortunately. So I was very excited when I saw what was in the kit. However, it was more relevant to the teaching I had already done in Terms 1 and 2, so I have not yet been able to use it, which is disappointing. I am looking forward to using it next year though.”
