“What a fantastic initiative! We used this with a mix of Year 1 and Year 5 students and peer collaboration to build the components was great. The older students helped the younger ones to build the Lego and then role-played along with them with the farming aspect. A huge hit all round!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them The milk truck is hard but (child's name) is helping me so we can finish it. I'm coming to get the milk from the cows so I can take it to the supermarket to sell to my friends.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The children loved that the farm could be built on the landscape created by the large jigsaw pieces and constantly reconfigured the farm buildings etc on this surface.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The kit helped to develop good co operation skills through play, by working with others to achieve a common goal. Helped to develop perseverance and the children worked with learning buddies that changed weekly so it was a great way to encourage dialogue between children who might not otherwise choose to work together.

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? One of the teachers in our collaborative space is a farmer and she was able to share a lot of experiences. We also had a visit from one of the children's pet lamb in early Spring so we were able to remember some of the neat learning we did.

“My children did this activity during what we call 'explore time' where our children get to choose an activity amongst several classrooms. The children have choices such as art, crafts, woodworking, STEM, etc... I had this activity in my classroom and when the children saw it they were very excited and got stuck in straight away putting the pieces together and then having some imaginary play.”

“The Farm bricks set is an excellent set of lego. I teach in a Year 1 class. The children were extremely enthusiastic to receive the kit. We worked on constructing one part of the farm at a time. The instructions for following the kit are very detailed. Some children were able to follow the instructions and put the buildings together. The children go the most out of the kit when they were able to construct using the lego without direct instructions.”
