Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The bricks themselves - so much fun. The game.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Building the kits. This was an opportunity to build "lego" for some children who don't have any. We used a couple of children from an older class to come and support those that were struggling and it gave them an opportunity to practise their skills too.

“The children have enjoyed working with the Bricks Farm kit in my Year 0-2 class. We have had a busy term with many other things happening, but the activities included were able to fit into a short or long time slot as we had available.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them The first day with the kit and one of my 5 year olds said "This is the coolest day EVER!" Parents were even popping in to see the 'cool farm' that their little people were talking about at home.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The lego was tactile and the children were familiar with lego blocks so knew what to do. The Te Reo Maori game was fabulous. One child was shown how to use the game and then taught others. They even asked to take the game to their Te Reo teacher to show her how cool it was to play.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The kit will be continually played with. It is not just a one off or seasonal and can be added to with other lego bricks.

“The Bricks Farm was an awesome kit. It was so versatile. In a junior room we used it with the shared book Mrs Wishy Washy's Farm, maths to count and share the vegetables and animals, making sets of animals that had the same number, technology to create extra buildings for the farm, Te Reo and so much more. The kit was an instant hit with all of my students and not dependent on English (I have a number of 2nd language learners in my room) Definitely a 10/10 from us!”
