“What an amazing kit! My class took the club very seriously. It was a great introduction to our term 4 topic which is living and growing. The students learnt about how to care for their plants, the different names for vegetables. We are having a vegetable tasting session with raw vegetables and dip and making a frittata with a variety of vegetables. The students are able to explain how they planted their vegetables, how we take care of them and identify the names. We will be planting them in our students home gardens over the holidays. We transferred what we knew about the vegetables into their poetry this term and created some simile poems to describe the vegetables colour, shape, texture, how we each them e.g the carrot is as pointy as a cone, the broccoli is like a bushy tree. The students have loved the stories too. Thank you for the amazing kit New World and School Kit! We can't wait to carry on our planting and growing knowledge next term.”
