“The kit was so engaging and the students loved the game! It was great how the games were differentiated so it could be accessed at different levels. The students enjoyed using the new vocabulary and it related well to our term's theme of Tūrangawaewae. Some of the bigger lego sets were are bit tricky for my NE/Y1s but the smaller bricks were perfect and really great for their fine motor skills!”

“The students were highly engaged. They worked in teams to put the farm pieces together - so there was lots of collaboration and communication required. For some it was a learning curve to share their skills, for some it was a challenge to get involved. The students loved guessing what might have been in each of the packages. The favourite activity was inventing. There were some amazing pictures and descriptions of their inventions for their farm.”

“Room 7 at New River LOVED this hands on resource. We struggled making up the tractors so used some tuakana/teina from a senior class to help. Even this term it is still a firm favourite and is used lots in oral language. Thank you so much for this opportunity.”
