“Great info with the stories from the farms, but not as hands on as I was expecting as a result of some of the other kits that I have received from your team. I used this with a mixed ability class, some of the students have low literacy levels and these activities did not work out too well! But as resources to use, these are fantastic.”

“Amazing resource, it just came at a really busy time so I didn’t quite do it justice! My fault entirely. Next time I’ll be better and get more kids involved”

What were some of the values that the people your students interviewed talked about? There was a lot about perseverance, especially when things get tough and problem solving. I think a lot of my students appreciate what they have when reading and learning about what others have or go through on a day to day basis.

“My students loved this so much. The excitement of discovering new clues and having actual evidence/letters - kept them so engaged.”

What were some of the values that the people your students interviewed talked about? Some of the values that were talked about included kindness, caring, patience and hard work.

“Our students really enjoyed working through the activities in this kit. The connection to farms is strong in our school, but what was fascinating was the brilliant conversations they had with their interviewees about their early farming experiences and what they learned from the New Zealanders' letters that were included in the kit. They also really enjoyed creating their own digital story.”

“Absolutely perfect. This was a really awesome original idea. We enjoyed the farm life style aspect of this and the students enjoyed exploring and reading about a different environment to their own. Thank you.”
