“I always pride myself in having a class that works really together and the beginning of this year was a struggle with students coming from multiple classes (and 2 different year levels) I really wanted them to explore different friendships and be open to working and playing with different people. This kit did this so thank you.”

“This kit, while not used to its full potential was actually perfect for my classroom. We began in term 1 and then the full impacts of Covid hit. I had as many as a third to half my class away. However the lunchbox project was a life-saver for so many children who found themselves at school alone while their friends were sick at home. The lunchbox project providing an amazing platform for children to gain an opportunity to interact with the peers they had not yet connected with. Another highlight of the kit is the mat with its accompanying story about Tim. My class were enthralled by this story and loved locating the children on the mat whose batteries were at varying levels. The problem solving and discussion that resulted was really heart warming for me as a teacher.”

“This is a fantastic kit full of really great useful ideas and activities! Some are slightly better suited for middle school and above but managed to find plenty to relate to my new entrants to year 2’s. They have particularly loved the Playground project, which has provided great conversations around meaningful play! The unit has worked in really well with our work around te whare tapa wha. Teaching specific skills and language around relationships and emotions is so important for our new learners to school.”
