“It was probably very good, but our farming trip was cancelled due to covid 19 so we never got into the unit properly. We concentrated on literacy and maths during lockdown/online learning.”

“I loved the interactive parts of the kit. The map was especially inviting as a provocation for my younger learners to start thinking and talking about a farm. Thank you!”

“A great resource fill of awesome ideas and activities - unfortunately maybe a bit advanced for my year 0/1 children but other classes took on any ideas that I gave them for their level.”

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? My children weren't interested in the painting of the shades of green but really enjoyed watching some of the videos, talking about farms and designing their own farms. We had some interesting farms too- including penguin and dinosaur farms.

How did you find the open format of this kit? Ordinarily I would have loved it but I found it a bit challenging at the time. I would have liked something more prescriptive at that time.

“I wasnt able to give this kit its full justice this time around as we went into lockdown before we got it off the ground... as we are in a dairy farming community we are hoping to utilise it in term 3 when calvinf season is in full swing. We have thoroughly enjoyed other kits so cant wait to beable to get into it!”

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? It provided an area of interest to engage students, but we didn't really utilise the opportunity to teach cross curricular. I can see if we had created our own farm, or used the think cards that this would have been better utilised.

“The students were engaged in the video clips you suggested. They really enjoyed the writing. I was teaching a yr 1-3 class and we did a retell on the process of grass to glass. The students were amazed at the facts they remembered from the videos. I also used the kit in a year 3-5 class and we retold the story of Fiona and the storm as a cartoon strip. I do think the maths resources could be more thought out. I ended up finding some other ideas that related to farming that were more engaging. In the younger class we created a bar graph based on our most favorite animal and vern diagrams sorting farm animals from zoo animals. In the older class we talked about splitting paddocks into fractions.”
