How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? The use of visual supports has been really good for my younger students to make connections between the words that are spoken and what the see.

“Unfortunately I can't give this a rating as we started the year with relationships and by the time the kit arrived we had finished this unit. My advise is that it would be awesome to get the kits for Term 1 the week before school starts which would give the teachers enough time to look through the kit and plan using this.”

How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? The activities where fun and relatable for the students. They created a basis for classroom discussion on kindness and being aware of others.

“Ka rawe our kit arrived into wiki 5 but then omincon struck but did it stop us no we unpacked our kete and played around with how we could best use it in our akomanga. We were able to have a discussion around what actions and behaviours we need to show in around our kura and whare. We were also able to utilise half of our books as a healthy lunches incentive and use that data for our focus in pangarau - Statistics. Love our kete and can't wait for our next kete in Term 2.”

How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? For my new entrants, the kit created discussion around how we feel and how to be a friend. This discussion also encouraged children to listen to each other.

“My Year 3 class enjoyed exploring the kit and particularly the class battery and play lunch project. We initially struggled to find a way to use the battery that flowed and worked for our class, especially since class treaties had already been developed and the term was underway. I did like the idea of using the battery as part of our morning routine and students continue to use it to identify how they are feeling when they arrive at school in the morning. The playlunch project was an amazing way for children to be encouraged to interact with others who they may not usually choose to play with. I noticed a real empowerment of all the children being uplifted by one another and feeling a sense of inclusion. I will definitely be using this idea in years to come.”

Very good, the tamariki have been able to explain to new and returning students what the whole concept of the School Kit is. They can really relate to the characters and video's supplied.

“This kit was very helpful in enhancing respectful relationships within the children in my class. It helped me to prepare interesting and engaging activities for my students. We have had great time learning about the Maori philosophy of Hauora and doing a variety of collaborative activities linked to Te Whare Tapa Wha. We discussed the emotions and learned about the importance of recognising how others are feeling and how to stay in control.”
