This kit coincided with our English unit based on the book "In the beginning "by Peter Gossage and added layers of authentic learning and a plethora of rich oral language opportunities to dig deeper and explore through various mediums.

This is a fantastic kit with never ending possibilities. The discussions and thinking that came from the cards was amazing and the variety of activities we have been able to do with the resource make it an asset to my classroom. Really appreciated this one School Kit.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? This kit linked well to our Enviroschool focus of being kaitiaki of our waterways and moana. It linked naturally to measuring and patterns in maths and for a wide range of literacy activities including our focus of oral language.

This kit was inspiring to use and was a great way of children getting to know a little bit more about their peers by sharing stories of their family.

The kit helped to support the learning that we had done about our identity at the very start of the year. It gave the students more opportunity to students to tell their stories, learn their stories and tell them with confidence and pride. There were a lot of interactive activities and we found that it was a great way to incorporate other learning areas, particularly art.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? The cards and materials that came with this kit were designed for integrated learning. They easily incorporated literacy, Te Reo, art, music, drama, maths, and STEM under the umbrella topic of ‘exploring’

This kit was an amazing way for my year 3 class to engage with storytelling and Te Reo Māori vocabulary in a new way. The story map poster that came with the kit was beautiful and the kids enjoyed engaging with it. The cards and activities that came with the kit were very achievable yet easily differentiated. I will definitely use the resources in this kit again!
