How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Storywriting - some of the children were able to connect to the farms that they knew and were able to write stories about it. Other children were able to create adventures on a farm.

“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.

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Farming was something that was new to a lot of the children we specifically chose to use this kit with. It extended their vocabulary while also giving them some knowledge to bring to the table as they knew names of some fruit and vegetables for example.

“We loved our Bricks Kit and used it as part of our Lego Club to develop Oracy skills in our students with additional needs. Everyone loves a bit of Lego brick building and this drew all the students together. They played the games and then became 'experts' to teach the other children in the team, giving them opportunities to be leaders and to practice their oral language skills in something they knew and enjoyed. The games further developed their skills in a different area while retaining the knowledge they already had from other brick activities. This also supported turn taking, waiting and supporting each other to know what to do.”

My tamariki got so much out of the bricks resources, we have found them educational and easy to use. I am ready to order my next kit and wait with anticipation to see what delights my class will receive. Thank you School Kit.”

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? We had been learning about a lot of farming content through the programme ‘Farmer time’ we had linked all this together and they would write questions they had about farming. We linked books and follow up tasks to the topic as well

“Our overarching topic for the year was ‘Land’ where we incorporated all curriculum areas. The countdown bricks worked perfectly with this topic as we learnt about farm life and the harvesting/production of different foods”
