“My year 0/1 students loved all the pieces and there was a lot of discussion from them as they worked and observed what was in the box. This was particularly great for those who are very quiet in the classroom.”

“The Bricks Farm was amazing and is still being used Creatively in the classroom. Initially my younger class met with their tuakana teina class to build the packs of bricks. This allowed them to assist the more able older students who showed them how to build the items by following the instructions. Once the made up bricks came back to class there was amazing interaction and hours of fun in small groups. Lots of talk, lots of creation. Now some of the items are broken so we will have a rebuilding, reinventing activity using the bricks. Thank you for such a great kit.”

“We have really enjoyed using the farm lego to help extend our writers during literacy. We used the blocks to generate a lot of talk about what they have created before they went on to draw and then write about their creations.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them “I liked making all the machines that we learnt about”
Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The Lego bricks - make learning hands on for kinetic learners. The little cardboard cards with the items on them made learning like a game.
What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? They learnt, they built and they still use it everyday (if they can) and I can hear them reffering back to the conversations we had while learning! When we went on a trip we went past farms and they were all talking about what they could see and they remember a lot from the bricks set, made the “toys” seem very real for them. They were so excited.
