“I received the kit and was very keen to give it a go as we were looking at the history of our province at the same time. When I opened the teacher page I couldn't work out what I was meant to be doing. I opened t the kit and went through it and still couldn't work out what to do. I messaged the kit people to let them know I wasn't sure what to do. I eventually received a reply telling me to read a page that would help me. I didn't know what the page was and by this time we had moved on from our history to another topic so I left the kit behind my desk and still don't know how to use it.”

“An amazing resource! I especially loved how we investigated the pepeha to find the location, very engaging! It possibly was a little large for us with the amount of info in there so we had to scale it back for our learners. But definitely another winning kit from School Kit!”
