What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? N/A - incomplete

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? Many of the activities I am planning on using at the START of the year with my new class. Would be a great Term 1 kit or end of Term 4 in prep for starting a new class and setting up a positive environment.

“My students are a bit sheltered - year 5/6 I'm only a 1/4 of the way through - I have picked out what fits in well with Tuia 250 and where we are going with that. Incidentally, this kit was recommended by the facilitators of Poutama Pounamu.... I'm hoping to recreate some of the resources and use them on a regular basis - they are that good ;-) thank you”

“It was targeted at a higher level than level 2 of the curriculum. My Year four found some of the concepts too challenging to understand.”

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? The children definitely have a better understanding of how to treat others and giving compliments in class has definitely improved the collegiality of our class.

“My year 3-4 class really enjoyed learning about Stereotypes and not being judgmental of others. The pictionary game was especially fun with plenty of discussion around the pictures that had been drawn. The topic of Racism also popped up and what it was. I didn't know that my class could have such indepth discussions around this issue. It flowed nicely into guided reading as children were able to make connections within some of the stories they read. The 'trust circles' were an insight into who they trust the most. Nice to see my students opening up.”
