“A wonderfully rich and detailed kit, I will be honest that the literacy level/cognitive demand I found was too high for my class (a young year 5/6 class with very diverse learning needs), but I adapted or simplified. Ideal for year 7/8”

“This was an excellent resource with well-thought-out lessons and progressions. Differentiation was simple and it was easy to move in any direction the students wanted to move into and then come back to where we were on our timeline. It prompted loads of questions and fed into our Te Reo Lessons and local community study. We were looking this year at "what was, what is, and what can be" as a school-wide focus. Thank you once again for providing such an outstanding teaching and learning tool.”
