What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? We included a lot of the arts. Incorporating dance, drama, story telling. It encompassed the home / school partnership by sending home the springboard activity cards.

How did you find the open format of this kit? I liked that it was open to interpretation. I am out of the classroom at the moment but the teacher in the class and I used different aspects of the kit. Once again excellent pieces to hold on to for the future and use in different settings. Thank you!

“I loved this kit! It worked well because I tend to take my class off in random directions and tangents anyways and we could sort of explore loads of different avenues with this. The resources supplied were great - we have used the dice so often and the poster is referred to quite a lot. The scope of ideas was awesome. I know it was meant for Year 0-3 but was easily extended for my year 4-6s as well.”

“This kit was fantastic! The mat, question cards, waiata and dance movement were all appreciated by my Yr 2's. They loved the art work and thinking about being a scientist (whale/albatross).”

“We started working on the Exploring Kit and used as a whole syndicate as I had a could of deaths in my family and then Covid19 hit so that end that. Though, I did enjoy using the cards as prompts when I was able to in my class.”
