“Our class loved the chance to grow their veggies! We used this to support our literacy and science learning. It is such an encompassing unit of work that we were able to link to so many different areas of the curriculum. It also helped the children to connect to their local area. Our school-wide theme was connections and growing the veggies led us into an inquiry cycle that looked at how growing our food helped our community. This is the second time I have had this kit and it never disappoints!”
