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.”

“Once again I am blown away by the amount of awesome, useful and worthwhile additional resources we get with every School kit we receive. 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.”
