Bulls School thought the Farm Kit was Education-a-bull. It taught has loads about the ins and outs of farming in a fun and hands-on approach. We have a lot children from farms in our class which really thrived and enjoyed sharing their knowledge as well as ESOL students who knew not a lot. It was a great opportunity for the students who knew a lot about farming to become experts to the others, which created an awesome collaborative learning community. It really got our journey into STEM underway also, which was exciting.

I love this Junior Kit - the online component and suggested books makes a great addition to the kit. I used many of the recommended books that I could source from the school library. The videos kept interest and engagement really high.

This kit was really awesome. I loved the amount of links there were to literacy. The songs were really fun, and we enjoyed having topic related songs to sing during our assembly time. There were a variety of options and different ways we could go with the kit which was also nice to choose what suited us best.
