What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? We read the poem and used discussion cards for writing. We enjoyed the STEAM cards. We tried the art but I didn't see the link.

How did you find the open format of this kit? I found this kit difficult to use. I wasn't aware of the online resources to begin with. Once I found them, we were unable to use the music files. I found the activities enjoyable, although I struggled with the link between some activities

“I found this kit more difficult to use, as it was my first open kit. The activities were interesting but we found the online links troublesome. We enjoyed the stories and the map. We created some family art, however this was an activity that I didn't understand as a teacher.”

How did you find the open format of this kit? It was great as there was different aspects that would be able to be used across a multitude of inquiry topics.

How did you find the open format of this kit? It took a bit of communication to get our heads around 'Exploring' but once we understood the wide format, it was great.

“Initially we thought it was about explorers to NZ. But then we went deeper into what makes an explorer. What makes a person what to explore? What would we want to explore? Mountains, oceans, space or even just Aotearoa.”

“Very cool kit and most of my class enjoyed it. I have a wide variety of abilities and some struggled with different activities but that’s to be expected. Overall we love using the kits and have lots of fun learning in different ways.”

How did you find the open format of this kit? It was tricky to navigate. I had never had the school kit and it is my first year of teaching so I wasn’t too sure how to go about everything with such young kids I didn’t really know well yet

“This was the first kit I ever received for my first year of teaching. I rated this one a 3 because I didn’t feel as though it was as easy to navigate- especially at the beginning of the year when I was just trying to settle in with my students etc. I feel like for the beginning of the year the relationships kit would have been a better success. I tried this kit, but my kids didn’t seem to gain much interest from it. After receiving other kits like the relationships kit and firing away with it, this one was a little tricker to figure out!”
