“I always enjoy your kits. They are a great way to bring different concepts into the classroom in a hands on way. I found this kit a little trickier to follow using the instructions and resources but the learners still thoroughly enjoyed the kit. It made them think critically and work as a team. It also encouraged more Te Reo and reading.”
