“School Kit Squad you surely do rock! Thanks for an amazing day and a visit from the wonderful Kylie Power to top it off! Let’s not mention the impromptu fire and police call out to our school over the weekend. We obviously trashed our rooms enough for it to be believable! awesome kit, tested our kids resilience at times, unplugged coding at its finest!”
“The scene was set... Purple Monkey (Mr J) was in hiding to keep away from the evil organisation Forever Night. Thanks so much #SchoolKitSquad! We had the best time as secret agent super spies. The circuits were tricky to complete so guess what we will be learning about soon.”
“Was a great day trying to find Purple Monkey on Monday, the class really engaged in the challenges and were running around the space trying to find the clues!
They still kept referring to us a Purple Monkey and Golden Magpie through the day today which was amusing and they kept coming up to whisper suspicious activity that they had seen!
When the code was cracked the decision was made to turn the ball into Pac-Man”
“Wow what a day! The morning started with such excitement as soon as they saw our classroom was all taped up! It created such mystery and curiousity. Although some puzzles were hard for my Year 2s, they persevered and challenged themselves to rescue purple monkey (our principal). Was such a cool secret agent day and everyone loved it - the kids even bought some sunnies to school as a disguise. Thanks so much school kit!!”
“Our little spies in the making had the BEST time cracking codes in the STEAM kit, thank you! Between creating spy names, creating their I.D badges and cracking codes they were beyond engaged and excited! Hugely valuable lessons learnt including collaboration and perseverance alongside all the cool STEAM activities. The spy pens caused great excitement as did the ' 'lasers' we ended it with Purple Monkey substitutes (stuffed toys holding their final number) for each group that they had to rescue and bring back to the Assistant Director. Exhausting but awesome, well worth it for all the joy!!!”
“What a fantastic day of STEM at Hay Park School! Our kids were really challenged but loved every minute of this kit. It was great so see kids shine who usually take a back seat. We combined two kits and mixed 62 kids - lots of new relationships have been formed too. Thanks again School Kit!!!”
“Thank you School Kit. Room 10 at Parkvale School had the best day trying to defeat Forever Night and locate Purple Monkey :slightly_smiling:
What an amazing experience for the children and we got incredible writing the next day- the kids just didn’t want to stop writing.”
“Wow! We had such an amazing day with our year 2-4 students at Mary’s Whanganui. I can not believe how excited our kids were, right from the minute they saw the classrooms locked up with upturned chairs and caution tape everywhere and having to go hang in the hall (even the torrential rain didn’t stop us!). Our amazing principal (who is a massive fan of escape rooms and has played many around the country) played a very convincing Purple Monkey and when they worked out where she was they were excited to go and rescue her. We had a great debrief with the students afterwards about their team work, perseverance and problem solving skills. Thanks School Kit for another incredible kit. Can’t wait to do this again!”
