I have a Year 2-3 Class, I did have to adapt some activities to simplify for my students. They absolutely enjoyed this kit and it was great seeing them develop their problem solving skills. They thought it was hilarious when the school principal was hiding!

A highly engaging experience for everyone involved. The kids thrived with the code breaking challenge element, and the unique problem solving opportunities enhanced relationships between peers in a setting which they usually wouldn't be exposed to. A great way to end the year on a high, the set up was well worth it and I would absolutely recommend this to anybody.

The kids want more! They loved looking for the ";purple monkey"; and working together to solve problems. A great kit for developing leadership, teamwork and problem solving. Literally every student could bring something to the table in order to complete the activities in this kit. Many of them even mentioned that this kit was the highlight of the year (and we went on camp this year!!) We will look into creating our own secret mission challenges in 2020!

It was a great challenge and children enjoyed solving the clues and completing the challenges. They loved being a spy agent and the spy names. Loved locating purple monkey at the end and felt satisfied that they had solved the mystery. Thanks Schoolkit and sponsors!

The kids in our hub had an amazing time cracking these codes and finding the hidden location of purple monkey. It was highly engaging, and very motivating for my students (Year 4). What a great and fun way to engage with problem solving in context. It was great to have such a variety of different clues and codes to crack, as well as opportunities for students to work collaboratively. Thanks for the great kit!

This kit was fantastic!! I am a CRT teacher, and so most of these kits no longer work for me. However this one was absolutely perfect. I set the class up earlier in the term with some preloading on coding and code cracking, and utilised the help of the class teacher to do the time sheets the day before. Everything was so well explained and the process easy to follow. The students had an absolute blast completing all the challenges, and some great learning was had out of it . I had students in other classes wanting to know when it was their turn!! Thankyou for providing such an awesome learning experience :)

This was a truly wonderful kit to get some STEAM happening in my class. My Year 6 students were hyped over the spy theme and that they could work in groups to find ";Purple Monkey";. I would recommend this to any other class and will be looking out for similar kits in the future. Well done again School Kit- you rock.
