How did you find the open format of this kit? I struggled with this I think. I enjoy really clear, defined instructions unless I am involved in creating/planning something. Otherwise I would appreciate a video or some sort of very clear instructions for support.

“I found that I struggled with this kit. I didn’t properly understand the direction I was going or the path I was meant to take. I tried searching for support documents but, for some reason, I just really struggled to find what I needed to understand it. As a class we ended up just taking bits and going off them. I feel it may have just been my own head space as I usually live the kits.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Unfortunately due to covid- 19 and illness at the beginning of the year I was unable to work with the children on this kit. However as I was looking through the kit the resources look great and I think the children will be really excited to use it. I am looking forward to working with this kit early in term 3.”

“The kit is an amazing resource for Junior classrooms that can be used again and again. The children enjoyed the familiarity with the activity format - we used the Farming Kit too. We will continue to use the kit throughout the year as we haven't managed to do all the activities due to lockdown.”
