In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? bThrough the study of their own vegetable they learnt the nutritional value and shared that with others. Had many emails from parents thanking me for their child now eating a wider range of veggies.

“My class throughly enjoyed this school kit. We used the kit for Inquiry, writing, reading and even Maths. We also integrated it with our SVA kit we received. The students were really excited when New World delivered us a small garden and potting mix for us to replanted our seeds in once they sprouted. We even tried a range of vegetables using the recipes. The students loved chopping up vegetables to make the minetrone soup and many are now eating a different range of vegetables. They loved the challenge in the last secret code.”

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? All stages of the kit allowed for children to write about shared experiences.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Children will extend on current learning in future years as they learn more about plant reproductive systems, processing of veges / fruits and marketing. Many opportunities exist to continue learning related to the gardening aspect.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Making children aware of new and different veges that they might not yet have tried. Each child was able to take home a plant that hopefully they are able to add to their garden at home and eventually eat the results of their learning.

“This is a great resource to use in the classroom. The children are excited waiting for their seeds to germinate and it ties into the Living World as a topic for study. Real life experiences help bring the children's learning to life and keeps them motivated.”
