“When we received this kit I was very impressed with the resources that came with it! Originally we were going to do in Term 2 but we held off until the Olympics had started at the beginning of Term 3 to link this to their learning. The students were very engaged and loved creating their very own world records - attempting to reach a high score! It was great that this did not all have to be based around sports so those students who are more academic focused on this context.”
