“Our Bricks Farm was really exciting for the children to unwrap to reveal the different farm animals and vehicles. It was too difficult for them to put together some of the vehicles but the children have loved playing with the animals and base mat.”

How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? Not only did it help with literacy, they learned where these items came from (rather than just the shops). There were some new words for some (eg ESOL) learners as well. It enhanced positional language and instructions which tied into some of our other work.

“The building kits were great, especially having the puzzle pieces to create a farm on. The children found some of the instructions hard to follow but created their own. It would be great to have some simple worksheets that support learning for 5 year olds, simple activities that complement the short videos (which are great) or the farm to table concept.”

“My class absolutely loved working with the bricks farm, creating all the vehicles, animals, fruit and vegetables, and farm sheds. Using these has developed the children's communication skills and their oral language tremendously. Having the Maori translations for the different things in the kit was awesome as we integrate Te Reo into our daily programs. The spot-it game was very well received by all the children.”
