Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry? I believe so, they were at least inspired to learn more and perhaps further explore this as a career in the future - my class was full of aspiring vets prior to the unit, but afterwards they were even more inspired.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? They LOVED the inspiration station/vet set up area. They really loved how we made it fit across all areas of learning too.
“Students were super engaged and got to explore being a vet, coding unplugged and a linked in writing unit on Fractured Fairytales inspired by the start of the kit - they loved the unit.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? For one student, it was her highlight of the year so far. It has sparked an interest in becoming a Vet.
“I chose this School Kit because so many of my Year 5/6 students have the ambition of becoming a vet one day. Our class throughly enjoyed the problem solving elements the Kit provided. The Kit also encouraged the development of critical thinking and logical deduction. Great for discussions! It was fantastic to have a resource which could be easily integrated into literacy lessons as well.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? They loved it.
“Most students enjoyed becoming vets and working through the process which led to some great writing. With the introduction of the new curriculum, we did encounter some challenges with cognitive overload, but this would not be as big an issue with future classes. All students enjoyed the more specific tests, with the Poo Sample, being the most frequently spoken about. It definitely allowed for some imaginative writing.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? For an akl city school parents were excited to see a link to animals that they don’t always get exposed to
“My student loved the objects from the box and had a great time exploring them. The writing component and data analysis was a bit trickier with year 3/4’s than if maybe I just had year 4+”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Positive feedback. Students enjoyed the stories. Loved ‘taking care’ of our class ‘vet pets. ’
“This kit was interesting and engaging. The included stories were able to be tied in with our reading and topic work. It was fun finding artefacts (soft toy animals, toy vet gear) to help boost students interest and vocabulary.”
