“Thank you for this great kit. It was really fun the way the children had to come up with their own ideas for creating their cake. It allowed for a lot of experimentation and discussion around why some were more successful and tastier than others. It also showed the children that healthy ingredients can make for a delicious treat.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. I didn't think that any of the vegetables and fruit were going to be good to use in a cupcake. Maybe the apple, but it turned out ok. I don't think chickpeas made a difference. 2. My group was the only one to use betroot in the first round of baking, I love betroot. I couldn't taste it but turned our cupcakes into a nice pink colour. On the next round of baking everyone wanted to use betroot!

How can the learning in the kit go beyond the classroom to improve whānau wellbeing? Children are sharing their experiences and what they've learned during these three baking sessions with their whānau.

What barriers do your students face to access healthy eating? They are not familiar with some of the vegetables, and financial constraints are the barriers they encounter.

“It was a fantastic way to tie in our topic on Solids, Liquids, and Matter. The kids enjoyed learning about the role of each core ingredient. In their first attempt at the recipe, they played it safe and got a good result. The second time, they took risks with the vegetable ingredients to enhance their recipe, but it led to flat and oddly textured cupcakes, some even inedible. The toolkit was well-equipped, and the kids had a great time with it!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them We didn't need any sugar with the apple and banana. The chickpeas make the best cakes, can we make them again next week?

How can the learning in the kit go beyond the classroom to improve whānau wellbeing? It would have been great to know can substitute flour for a can of chickpeas in lockdown. The students found that their cupcakes could easily have less or no sugar with the banana or apple.

What barriers do your students face to access healthy eating? Food prices; busy working parents who look for fast food options; lack of knowledge around healthy eating options..

“This was great for science, maths and promoting healthy eating. We used corn, beetroot, chickpeas, bananas and apples. The students loved them, some saying they were the best cupcakes they had tasted. Chickpeas with apples and Chickpeas with bananas were their favourites. We used a blender and put the chickpeas, beetroot and corn in separate containers to make it easy for the students. Creamed corn may have been better than whole kernels and don't forget a can opener if it is not a tab can. Using different coloured paper cupcake holders helped to identify each team's cakes.”

How can the learning in the kit go beyond the classroom to improve whānau wellbeing? I think it reinforced the choices being made for eating at home for the pupils. Many were having vegetables but not trying them if they had tasted them and not liked them. This reinforced the importance of trying new combinations and thinking about what they were putting in their mouths. Taking more ownership of grocery choices, lunchbox choices and meal planning is also highlighted.

What barriers do your students face to access healthy eating? lack of input in to weekly shop or cooking. Limited access to alternative sources for healthier food.

“Kids loved it. They liked being creative and experimenting with a product that they could eat as an end result. Having ownership of what they were creating and discussion around the nutritional value along with measurement component, was a great practical reinforcement of our themes.”
