How has the kit helped to develop prosocial behaviours? They share what they like about each other. We have introduced kindness notes to our reading activities. They love writing and reading them. They mix more with each other and have quite fluid friendships.

“Ka rawe our kit arrived into wiki 5 but then omincon struck but did it stop us no we unpacked our kete and played around with how we could best use it in our akomanga. We were able to have a discussion around what actions and behaviours we need to show in around our kura and whare. We were also able to utilise half of our books as a healthy lunches incentive and use that data for our focus in pangarau - Statistics. Love our kete and can't wait for our next kete in Term 2.”

“My Year 3 class enjoyed exploring the kit and particularly the class battery and play lunch project. We initially struggled to find a way to use the battery that flowed and worked for our class, especially since class treaties had already been developed and the term was underway. I did like the idea of using the battery as part of our morning routine and students continue to use it to identify how they are feeling when they arrive at school in the morning. The playlunch project was an amazing way for children to be encouraged to interact with others who they may not usually choose to play with. I noticed a real empowerment of all the children being uplifted by one another and feeling a sense of inclusion. I will definitely be using this idea in years to come.”

“I found some parts of this more useful than others- the resources that had lots of reading weren't as useful for my year 1 class. I liked the card idea and the use of the stickers to promote those respectful relationships.”

“This kit was very helpful in enhancing respectful relationships within the children in my class. It helped me to prepare interesting and engaging activities for my students. We have had great time learning about the Maori philosophy of Hauora and doing a variety of collaborative activities linked to Te Whare Tapa Wha. We discussed the emotions and learned about the importance of recognising how others are feeling and how to stay in control.”

“This arrived late, so I have only been able to use part of it this term. I am pleased with what I have used and the children have learnt a lot about respect and how to be respectful to each other. They also have learn to accept themselves and what respect for themselves by themselves and by others looks like.”
