“So far we have been developing our programme around the kit as a way to upskill ourselves. We did find the kit confusing but Emma was amazing and we had super support from her around how to use it. We've done quite a bit of work to incorporate it into our existing themes and will be continuing to do so next term. We are going to start teaching with the kit in term 4 and are super excited to do so.”

“Huge range of stories to explore from all over Aotearoa. Students loved starting in our local area and connecting to what we know then building a bigger picture and making connections from there. Sparked lots of interest and further extension ideas.”
