How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? It helped to learn how to interpret information and use it to make decisions/rule things out. We are learning this concept on Maths as well so was a nice link.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? The kids have really enjoyed it and it has fed into our whole class reading topics too, with kids requesting we learn about Huia, Hokioi and Moa, amongst other birds.
“My kids really enjoyed this kit, however we found the fairy tale aspect quite confusing and distracting. The resources in the kit were great and tied in with our term learning nicely.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Most appropriate for a rural school.
“A brilliant concept to engage students with all sorts of background knowledge. Our St John Cadets shone out with their TPR knowledge as did our compute needs with the unplugged coding. Our rural community and farming kids were really in tune with the entire topic.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? One of my parents is a vet and they have told me that this was quite an accurate and fun way to teach what it is like to be a vet
“I feel like this kit was great at teaching the children to be empathetic towards our animals. It was also great as a platform to teach some science concepts, especially around medication and the body systems.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Kids loved it. Found it very practical and enjoyed the lessons.
“A little bit hard to understand when I first looked over the kit. After talking to another teacher who had used the kits before it made a lot more sense. Kids loved the different resources and classroom engagement and enjoyment was really high.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? They liked learning about the testing vets do and the problem solving elemenr of the job. They liked the props and documents. They didn't like the fairytale.
“I used this kit as part of my reading group. We first read a school journal story about diagnosing animals and how we see inside. The kids loved being hands on with the props such as the x rays and test tubes, and listening to the heart beats and breaths. They didn't enjoy the fairytale story attached to the cases as this felt babyish to them. I would rate this kit a lot higher if more realistic cases were used since the age range extended to year 8 kids.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? The children love every opportunity to be in the 'vet' area in our class and have continued to move items around to suit themselves. Also using the glasses and QR codes was exciting. There were so many elements to use. It was interesting watching and listening to the children sort out what resources went with what animal. I posted photos and videos on our Seesaw site and children and parents alike have been very enthusiastic in their responses.
“It was an amazing School Kit because most of the children had prior knowledge about pets and some about taking their pets to a vet. Also it was great for team work. It provided and continues to provide opportunities for discussion. The children had fun eliminating and diagnosing using the information provided. They could then use the information to work together to solve the problems. These skills will then transfer to other learning.”
