“What an amazing kit!! The class loved it. Many conversations were had from, who takes the produce to towns/cities, farmers, jobs, roading, etc. They loved building the Lego and working out where things went, or could go. The te reo kupu were an added bonus.”

“How great it was to get the Bricks Farm 23. Being a Year 1 & 2 class we made very good use of these as an activity we did with older students. They enjoyed working to put these together as well. The Brick Farm 23 is on display for all our tamariki to continue putting together and they like to play with these. Thank you for putting this together for schools, it has so much potential and being a rural community, it met our needs very well.”

“I absolutely loved interacting with the Bricks Farm as did my Year 1 class. We got into groups and followed instructions to create each of the boxes and then the envelope packs were given out as a reward when children were caught displaying a "school value". The weeks after that were spent building their own farm and writing about its features and characteristics. This was done in pairs.”

“These were so amazing. All students were engaged and they loved every bit of building with the bricks. Some students created what was on the box while others tried and ended up creating something a little different. This kit promoted patience, creativity, and collaboration. The students ended up making a whole village of different brick scenes which they interact with every day. I think they could do this 4 times a year and still love this resource. The understanding they developed in connecting the pieces together and being able to see the finished product empowered them so much.”

“This kit was a fantastic resource for encouraging oral language both in English and te reo Māori. It was very versatile and engaging for explicit teaching moments, such when introducing the te reo Māori kupu but also adaptable for children to engage with in their play.”
