“What a great tool to have in the classroom! We used this to support our learning with our NZ histories topic we did. Being a rural school meant we were able to use the bricks to make links to our local area and show the changes over time.”

“My kids were obsessed with the lego bricks but, devastated they didn't have the whole thing - this kit solved that problem! The depth of the kit was excellent, and I always enjoy the integration of te reo Māori that is included in the kit. This kit allowed us to have meaningful conversations about where our food comes from.”

“An awesome resource as it provided so much discussion and Inquiry with collaborative learning. We did Inquiry projects on farms in NZ and got everything from salmon farms to orchards. It also provoked discussion and research on items we get from the supermarket such as chocolate and sugar. A really excellent starter for juniors to learn how to do an Inquiry. Thanks so much.”
