How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? It really helped them to be able to see the battery and to be able to set a weekly goal. They love to come into the class the whole day to make sure if the battery is charged or not.

“I thought the idea of the kit was great. We started and the mat has become our class recharge and thinking spot. Helping with behaviour management. My aakonga like the concept of the playground stickers but haven't yet quite gained the concept. We use this along side the Bucket filler book due to a large amount of behaviour issues in my class and it worked really well with my aakonga relating to the colours. I think I wasn't able to get this kit fully functioning in my new entrant class possibly better suited for year 1 as my older aakonga seemed to understand this better. It has been helpful for building peer relationships. I will continue using this next term it has overall been a useful tool within my class thank you.”

“A good kit if you're stuck for ideas on how to build a classroom community, or want to try something new. It would work best in Term 1, or for a teacher taking over a class later in the year, or if there was a change in class values/behaviour for some reason. There was too much in the kit for my Y1/2 class in Term 2, as we'd already covered a lot of the same ground in Term 1. The Playlunch Project was really successful with my class, and encouraged children to play with children they didn't normally play with, resulting in several new friendships.”
