Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. A highlight from my learning is science because we learned about physical and chemical changes, that cooking is science and we even made cupcakes out of science. 2. A highlight of my learning is science because I'm learning new ways of doing things. I learned a new way of baking a cake. I am also learning new science words like physical and chemical reactions and matter.

How effective was this kit in promoting healthy food in your classroom? Very effected - weighing out 60g of sugar to share between 4 cupcakes was mind blowing for our classes. They definitley wanted to reduce the sugar content. They loved researcing altrenatives for sugar and fats.

How can the learning in the kit go beyond the classroom to improve whānau wellbeing? A cost comparision would be useful - if healthier was cheaper this could improve whānau wellbeing.
What barriers do your students face to access healthy eating? Cost
“The resources and teaching material were helpful. The biggest issue for us was the extra cost for ingredients. For the 3 classes (95 students) at our school, we spent an extra $100 on ingredients. Mostly on eggs, avocadoes and butter. Information about other fats to use would have been useful - I only thought at the end about substituting butter for other fats not just vegetable fats. Other fats would certainly have been cheaper and healthier.”
