How did you find the open format of this kit? Very useful in that I could adapt it to suit what I was teaching - with adaptations for the younger pupils who found the activities challenging.

“A beautifully and thoughtfully put together learning resource. The kit inspired me as a teacher and was refreshingly different. The children found the activities engaging. We did not use of elements of the kit but aim to return to it later in the year.”

“A fantastic kit, very topical with beginning of the year topics. Love the way it is specific to NZ and gives kids an opportunity for learning about possible a not so well know explorer to them.”

“Kids loved listening to the stories regarding explorers. This kit tied in nicely with our Term 2 topic as we were studying dinosaurs and archaeology. We became explorers when we went looking for dinosaur bones!”

“We used Explorers as our overall theme. Our kids loved being explorers of learning and creating art, maps, and learning tools to start with. We have been able to branch out with a focused, integrated curriculum approach, that has been applied to different concepts and contexts over the last two terms.”

“It was a fantastic resource, however, I couldn't use it for my children as it was too hard for my year 2 & 3 students except one. We were able to use the 'Exploring our own family story'.”
