What cross curricular learning opportunities arose from using Nature as the context? Our learning was linked in multiple ways through reading about other spaces, writing our observations, scientific experiments. Children were also able to engage in conversations with parents about their learning.

How has the kit impacted you and your students feelings toward nature? Children are more aware of what is around them. They are not as quick to run through a garden or throw a piece of rubbish on the ground. Children know that what they do can impact something (like our Nature Space).
What were the benefits of using Nature as a context for learning? Children were able to look closely at an area within our school. They were required to think about their impacts and the impacts of others on the space.

How has the kit impacted you and your students feelings toward nature? We have a much better understanding of how to care for new plants with respect to weather, location, predators, soil needs, sunlight and water requireents.
What were the benefits of using Nature as a context for learning? We found we had 2 parents that were qualified in this area. They were able to share their knowledge of ground preparation, seedling/plant choice and continuous care for the new environment.

“This kit has tied in extremely well with our school looking at improving 3 areas of our environment. The Juniors are in charge of extending the sandpit area, the Middles are in charge of the vegetable garden and mud kitchen area and the Seniors are in charge of the entrance way, a new school sign in a paddock that requires planting and beautification of the area.”

What cross curricular learning opportunities arose from using Nature as the context? We delved a little deeper into the conditions for propagation by having two conditions for the plants - warmth/condensation vs unstable temperature. The children were able to see how obviously the former helped with seedling germination.

How has the kit impacted you and your students feelings toward nature? It was interesting for them to see their place in the world. We already have a bush kaitiaki programme running in the school so this has strengthened and tied into that knowledge.
What were the benefits of using Nature as a context for learning? This kit was the basis for a fascinating look into our local plants and our place in the world. The students really enjoyed the process of preparing and propagating the kowhai seeds.

“Due to the interruptions of Covid, we felt we would have been able to be more consistent with this kit without the large breaks in between. Our kowhai seeds are growing nicely in our nursery and the students are keeping an eye on them.”
