How effective was this kit in promoting healthy eating in your classroom?

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? We were looking at environment and looking after plants anyway, so this fitted in with that.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? We have garden to table at school so when the kids get older they will be able to use knowledge learnt to the project.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Healthy eating esp in lunches is something we talk about often, taking the seeds home helped make links with home.

“The kids were excited about receiving the seeds and being able to grow their own plants. I have 5 year olds and found that some of the resources and the storyline were quite complex for them to understand. I structured it my own way. I found planting the seeds was quite hard as well, hydrating the soil was messy, the kids tried to take the seed out of the paper wrapper as they wanted to see the seed to understand what they were doing. It was great to have the opportunity to promote healthy eating , but that message was a little lost for my kids. Maybe the kits is designed for older and more able children.”
