What was the impact of the daily stamping practice in your classroom and which water benchmark did your students find most fascinating? The stamping was a before school routine although some students would forget and would do this throughout the day - this was totally fine. They found the challenges of 5 minute showers, tap off while brushing teeth and tap off while washing hands most fascinating which makes sense as these are probably the tasks that they have the most control over. Many of the children live in (mostly) water only households, so we found this one harder to stamp as water wasn't really a choice but rather the only option.

How have your students' perceptions of water conservation changed since using the resource and did it foster a sense of responsibility and awareness in your classroom? I used this kits alongside other resources as our school focus was water. I think the kit was very well put together and easy to use, plus it included activities that were very engaging. I think my students have developed a sense of responsibility and awareness of water.

“My students love the concept development where they got to learn more about the water cycle and thir own water footprint. The water cycle in a bag was a big hit, and the integrated learning opportunities such as volume (maths) was great. The 5 small actions part of the kit is also a lovely (and simple) way to take action at the end of the inquiry.”

“Our class really enjoyed using Water Saver 24 because it aligned with our Maths and Inquiry. Students were engaged in recording their water usage over 10 days and were excited to receive a badge and a cup holder to take home. Thank you to School Kit for providing my class with such an amazing resource.”

“Water Savers effectively combines clear information with real-world relevance, helping students understand both the causes of water waste and the importance of practical solutions. A key strength of this project was that students were actively involved in the data gathering process and could see how their findings were utilised. This hands-on experience not only deepened their understanding of water conservation but also helped them grasp the PPDAC cycle in an authentic and applied context. Students responded positively to the practical examples and visual elements, which made abstract concepts more concrete and relatable. Overall, Water Savers 24 is a valuable teaching tool that promotes environmental awareness while reinforcing key statistical and inquiry skills.”

“The kit had excellent resources for the tamariki to take home and help to educate their whānau. They enjoyed making the fortune teller especially and having the different items to talk about at home. It was harder with the Year 4 & 5 ākonga to do the data collection and return this to kura. As a result, this part of the kit did not get fully completed with the stamps on the posters. I also simplified the teaching part of the different types of water waste.”
