“I found it confusing to use and had difficulty understanding the context it was intended for. Perhaps it was just not I was looking for or expecting at the time. There were no clear instructions on how to utalise the resources included in the kit.”

“We loved having this kete as part of our History unit. All of the contents sparked conversation with the children and parents. We set up a lovely provocation on our Whanau Day of all the treasures and encouraged Grandparents to talk about what they remember of the items.”

“I did not sign up for one last year as I knew I would be very busy. I did not receive any school kit as well. I was off sick quite a bit last year so maybe the reliever may have received it on my behalf and used it. But I am pretty sure I did not sign up to it last year.”
