“This was an interesting kit. We weren't sure about it when we first looked at it, but the students got in to it once they understood it a bit more. Unfortunately, we had to rush through it as we had our speech finals to get through. Thanks for another thoughtful kit!

“Even though my class have easily made connections to people who grew up on farms (we live in rural Mid Canterbury) the discussions and connections they have made have been very worthwhile. It has broadened their understanding of the connections they have outside of their close circle of family and friends. The interviewing techniques they practiced have shown them the importance of actually listening to the answer, rather than assuming they know what the reply will be. Another great kit enjoyed by my Year 7 class.”
“The students were interested to learn about people from our own area and how things were different for them while they were growing up. It was fantastic to integrate Local Curriculum into our classroom learning. Thank you School Kit.”
“With students that have been raised in an urban setting here in New Zealand, this kit has taught the class to distinguish between information, compare and contrast, and create their own stories about living in a farm. Surprisingly, this unit has been a base of one of our other units (Social Science / Inquiry = My journey). This kit has been so helpful and the selected people were perfect and relatable to the students. Thank you School Kit! Looking forward to any similar kits to this!”
