Our school promotes healthy eating and we have a brain food session at 10 am every morning where students eat fruit or vegetables as a snack.

“Little Garden Kit was really well set out and so colourful and exciting for the students to use. They loved it! They loved the club house, the secret codes, the games, the badges. They really found it exciting to come to school each day and check on the progress of their seeds. Thank you so much for this opportunity”

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? As above, math, writing, science

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Some are still growing vegetables and helping in the classroom. Our next step would have been to focus on the healthy eatingl.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? We went down a slightly different path as the students were interested in learning about growing plants etc (while we did so in class). They did become more aware of what types of veges they eat and their family bought each week.

“The Kit was a wonderful learning experience for the class. We used it as the 'hook' to learn about the life cycle of plants, parts of plants and how plants grow. The class enjoyed the coding and 'math' thinking and also did some amazing report writing about what they learned. They even wrote a persuasive letter to explain why they should be LGL club members. Thank you for the effort and time that your team put into the kit. We also discussed enjoying and eating vegetables and found out about each other's favourite veges.”
