How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability?
Our concept for this term was sustainability so it fitted in really nicely to the learning for the term! Classes have had lots of great discussions about the types of rubbish, how it got there, why we should be aware of what plastics we use and how they are disposed of.

I definitely think it has challenged mindsets and made then more aware of how they contribute to the waste.
