“This kit was very cool and exciting for the tamariki. The sets were challenging for the Y0/1 students to put together, however, I was able to use them with some older children and they enjoyed putting the sets together. The younger students enjoy using the different equipment within the normal set of bricks. It is creating a lot of discussion and creativity in play.”

“The kids loved using the instructions to figure out how build each component of the Bricks farm. When playing with it altogether they enjoyed moving and interchanging pieces and making the farm their own. The kids were very engaged in the sorting activities and games and were able to make connections through discussions and the online content provided as well.”

“The bricks were very helpful when we looked at a paddock-to-plate unit. The students were able to make farms and discuss their learning through playing with the bricks. It was an interesting way for them to display their learning.”

“Te Moana loved the farm lego kit. The children loved working with the bricks and it was great hearing their oral language as they worked together to construct the farm together and talked about the different parts. It was a great unit. Not only getting the lego but the support of lessons and suggestions that went with it. It worked well to support so many curriculum areas including literacy, maths, art, Te Reo and so much more. Thanks.”
