“My class love baking! This was the hook that engaged them at the beginning of the unit. The resources included in this pack are excellent. There were plenty of options to bake a variety of different cakes using unusual ingredients. Our concept for the term included science and Mathematics. This pack enabled opportunities for team work and my students had to communicate, listen and agree to be successful.”

“A great kit that I incorporated into Maths. my maths groups loved it. It was hands on and made practical sense to them. It created great discussion why veges should/ shouldn't be in cakes. The students were pleasantly surprised. As a result they are planning healthier alternatives using veges to be in the school canteen.”

“A wonderful kit. There was so much learning involved: healthy eating, chemistry of baking, working together in a team. I organised this for my Year 5/6 class. It took us the whole day and they all were engaged. The colourful 'worksheets' were super handy. Very engaging and helped with the planning and reflection stage at the end.”

“This kit came at a great time for our students. We had been lucky enough to have had healthy eating sessions in our senior school, looking at labels, going to stores and checking whether food was healthy or not. This kit was a good follow on from this and something they were able to talk about in their home environment, making good food choices.”
