We really enjoyed this resource and it fitted in perfectly with our topic for the term which was based around being connected in our community looking at stories and how these bring us together

I have not used the kit as yet as we are integrating it into a story telling unit that will link in with a unit of work focused on Story Telling. We will be exploring aspects of the past in conjunction with this so am looking forward to incorporating the kit then. I will be undertaking this unit of work in Term 3. Originally it was to happen in Term 2 but the lockdown etc cahnged our plans.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? Great technology - English links. Although its not really a curriculum areas as such, it has been wonderful to hear the different cultural perspectives of the learners that have come out of this kit

We didn't have a lot of time to do much with this due to the lockdown but everything was, as always beautifully made and designed. We have used the question card when we have a few minutes to wait and its been awesome to hear the stories about why the kids have chosen as they have. We've also use the design cards as a springboard into design projects or for kids who say 'I don;t know what to do' during play based learning. We're looking forward to using some of the other things next term :)

Well detailed and very user friendly. A real shame in relation to timing with covid though. Awesome kit however and will be great to use another in the future.

How did you find the open format of this kit? I did find a bit trickier than the other kits i've used but really, I just needed to read over the kit a couple of times.

Thanks so much for once again creating a wonderful kit. We started the kit in term 1, then unfortunately Lockdown happened. My students loved doing the STEM challenges, reading about Kohai and doing the taniko art. Involving the parents was great and gave us lots to talk about.
