It was a good kit but just too difficult for my New entrants - Year 1. I was able to use aspects of it though, thank you

As with the farming kit, we had not yet started. We were looking at this one at the same time as the farming and looking at tupuna and the history of farming and exploring the past, and the journey of the farm animals to NZ

A good resource that has been well thought through to support busy teachers and teaching juniors and I really liked that it has relevant stories/songs/videos.

How did you find the open format of this kit? For a start is was slightly confusing - as there was so much good stuff. But I just used pieces that related to my children and their interest levels.

Thank you so much for this kit. The kids loved exploring the components. And there was some great story writing that came out of it.

Thanks for providing this great kit. I have not had a chance to try it out yet as it hasn't tied in with our focus for returning to school. I will, however, roll it out before the end of the term.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? It didn't because the concept of exploring was hard for 5 yr olds to understand.

How did you find the open format of this kit? It was challenging as I found there was not enough of a teaching structure to follow. Too much adapting as a teacher who teaches 5 yr olds.
