In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? The students are keen to try new vegetables.
I loved the way the kit was complete and didn't need any extra resources. The children were very engaged in the 'club' aspect of the kit and how they were 'special helpers' and got very excited about working out the secret messages. The seeds grew quickly which added to the excitement of the whole programme.

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? We were able to tie this kit into our measurement unit for maths as the students used it to measure the plants. As part of our inquiry unit we are also doing change so this worked into the change in season ";Spring"; and how plants grow.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? The students liked learning about new vegetables the hadn't heard of before and investigating them a bit further. Some of them were reluctant to try new things but most of them gave it a go
This kit was amazing, my students enjoyed everything about it - the kit was well suited to my year 3/4 class. They enjoyed the code crackers and also the joy in their faces when the saw their seedings sprout was awesome.

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? Maths/ statistics - We are in the middle of a Statistic enquiry unit so this was perfect to use this for bar graphs and line graphs. Writing - Explanation writing was about how to plant and look after a seedling. Reading - Junior journal 50 Seeds C
What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Starting a vegetable garden at school and at home. Looking after a vegetable garden, composting, weeding, watering over the holidays. Learning about the important of bees in our gardens. Bringing healthy snacks to school for our brain brakes.
In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Lots of discussion about different tastes of vegetables and being brave to try some new. Some tamariki didn't recognise some vegetables or never tasted it before.
What an amazing learning experience for our tamariki. The kit came with enough information to set it up properly and with lots of ideas. The link with the national advertisement made them aware it was something the whole country was involved in. In the morning they couldn't wait to see how much their plant has grown. We are planning to plant the seedling in our sunny spot in the vegetable garden.
