This was an excellent kit and the students loved the pit stops along the way and learning about them. For many it inspired their curiosity to find out more about the small towns in NZ and for some they were able to make connections to marathons and distances travelled. Such an amazing kit that could be used in a vast number of ways.

Our students enjoyed this resource, and although we're only half way through it, they loved seeing the different lengths of their steps, to counting steps to the end of the court, field, gate etc.

The kit looked amazing and would have supported me well to walk the length of NZ. However I have been unable to bring it into our very busy school year.

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? Students walked to school instead of biking or coming in the car. Parents and caregivers walked with them to add the steps.

The concept was excellent and the discussion was great amongst the kids. Those who who already had a step counter were less interested in an alternative way of recording/calculating steps. With so many short weeks for a variety of reasons, it was difficult to keep the momentum up for those who didn't have a counter, as they were not motivated to devise another process other than the process we devised for counting the number of steps assigned to a designated area at school. Overall, I believe the 28 students were more active.

My class loved this kit - great for physical activity, competitiveness and connecting with family living outside our city and even living outside NZ.

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? We could have done this differently by involving our families, and that would have had a wider community impact. In the end we decided to promote it across the classes, and involve them in the walk instead. We also invited some parents (during school time

We decided to take this on as an exercise to prepare for camp for our whole syndicate (90 kids). Our class worked on the first part of the challenge (measuring our steps, working out the length of NZ in km and then converting to steps). Students really enjoyed this part, and the maths proved really interesting and challenging. We then planned a bush walk where the other students could join us (during school hours). As we all walked the same walk (1.5 hour hill climb) we used my fit bit to work out how many steps we did for that day, then multiplied that by 90 people (that was how many students and teachers walked).

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? The students could see their progress on the charts as the steps came in. The rewards was really good. The lesson on measurement was an awesome resource. Due to this programme the whole school got into a weight loss challenge.

All year 6 students with their whanau and the Teachers and their whanau were involved. Each student had to find at least 4/5 other people who could walk on the chosen day 25 September 2020.
