“First time user of one of these kits so it took a bit for me to navigate my way around the resources and how to use them. I loved the idea behind this with students becoming junior vets and assisting to diagnose animals from the stories. The physical resources were fantastic and engaged the students. I used it with a Year 7 and 8 class who I only see once a week for Science so I did find it hard to keep the flow going with the teaching and also missed quite a few of the activities due to limited time. If I did it again I would try to get another teacher involved to teach this across several subjects eg: digital technology or English but this was hard to coordinate this time around. One critique I have is that my students were at the top of age range suggested but found the reading material quite hard in some areas with a lot of specific language and ideas that they were very unfamilar with. I would think that Year 5 and 6 would find many of the medical terms hard to understand. Another thing I struggled with was how to present the digital resources to the students. We use google classroom at our school but there didn't seem to be an easy way to link digital resources without manually copying and pasting videos etc or information from some of hte online resources so I ended up having to make quite a few of my own digital resources to share online eg; the cat practice diagnosis or the videos for becoming an expert. Please update me if there is an easy way to share with the students that I missed.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Unfortunately we needed to move on to our next inquiry topic within a certain time frame but students were chomping at the bit to explore this kit furter and further.
“Students were thoroughly engaged in a creative, yet detailed way of understanding more about animals and their health. It was also very relatable to human health too.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? That they learnt so much about different animals and how better to take care of their own animals.
“I recently had the opportunity to use the Story Vets School Kits in my classroom, and I was thoroughly impressed. These kits provide a unique and engaging way to teach students about veterinary medicine and animal care. The kits are packed with a variety of resources, including story cards, props, and activities. The story cards feature different animal patients with various ailments, allowing students to practice diagnosing and treating them. The props, such as stethoscopes and x-rays, make the learning experience even more realistic and fun. One of the things I appreciated most about these kits is how they align with the curriculum. The activities are designed to support learning in subjects like science, literacy, and critical thinking. They also encourage teamwork and problem-solving skills. Overall, I highly recommend the Story Vets School Kits to any teacher looking for a creative and effective way to teach their students about veterinary medicine. They are sure to be a hit with both students and teachers alike.”
