“This was the first Kit I have tried and my class and I were so excited to open it. It was easy to set up and held our tamariki interest for and extended period of time. We were excited to see the progress in the plants and share our learning with the rest of the school, whaanau and our wider community. We also decided to add a bean seed each to our growing experience which enabled our new entrants to measure growth a little easier than the slower growing plants. By sharing our plants with our local community garden we were able to do something nice for them as we spend a lot of time enjoying their beautiful environment. Tamariki love cracking the codes, what a fantastic idea and even the newest new entrants in my class could do it. A big thank you to New World for supporting this awesome learning experience.”
