In what ways has this kit improved student awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Initially attitudes were not in favour of vegetables now they are more inclined to give it a go. Success!!!!!!

How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? The tamariki were so proud to be able to identify vegetables. We extended this activity by bringing in vegetables from our home gardens to cook and eat with the tamariki. Some hadn't tried many of the vegetables before so were super proud of themselves es

“Love these kits for my ORS tamariki. Many are not exposed to this type of experience so a wonderful way to teach sustainable practises for the future. The tamariki are beginning to identify a variety of plants now.”

“The tamariki I sourced the Little Garden Kit for are 16 ORS tamariki. I adapted some of the activities to suit their needs. The tamariki were fully engaged in the planting of the seeds and were excited to check their seeds daily to see if they had grown. Many were wanting to water their plants which is great to see their learning come through as they know they need water and sun to grow. We spent some time in our school allotted garden preparing the ground ready to transplant. The School kits are well thought through and offer great ideas to extend the learning further.”
