How did the swapping of mail with another class add value to the GNZW experience? Really exciting but we didn't safeguard enough time as we normally would to explore who our buddy class were etc.

“Loved the story box and the 'pick up and go' type of activities.”

How did the swapping of mail with another class add value to the GNZW experience? See above comment. I can see the benefit in this process though.

“I really enjoyed the school kit and working with my class. The kids enjoyed the tasks and put in a lot of effort. I was (and so were the children) very disappointed to receive our school kit from another school. This was delivered late - which I have no problem with as I know how things can pop up. I was disappointed that the work we received was not completed well. The postcards had been scribbled on rather than coloured and we were missing postcards so we could not put it together. The children were disappointed as they had put in so much effort and didn't feel this is reciprocated. I understand each class has different needs and abilities but I feel this lacked effort.”

“Was very enjoyable however had children who struggled with language as they don't have that vocabulary in their life.”

How did the swapping of mail with another class add value to the GNZW experience? The kids found this part especially exciting, sealing up our parcel and then receiving one and opening it up together. As i mentioned on your FB page, I did miss last year's poster that helped us to learn far more about our buddy class, their school and t

“Loved all the notes and inspiration included in the kit. Being able to click to supporting material to assist both myself in teaching or the children in learning was brilliant. We became very excited about 'sticky/wow/juicy' words in all areas of our learning - sharing words here, there and everywhere. Thanks so much for another exciting start to writing this year!”

“As a class we absolutely loved this activity. It is my first ever school kit that I have personally received and was a new experience for me. It was very helpful having resources and extra information that was so easily available along with the facebook page.”
