“Wow - what an highly organised, thoughtful kit. Amazing attention to detail and great links to STEAM, so much so it was fab as a reflection tool for my students who had covered electrical circuits and unplugged digital teachnology in their previous STEM sessions. I decided to try this out a bit differently - we already had Lara's Yr4 class take part in the challenge and the next day some of the older students worked on some of the mini challenges with younger students - great to see them lead challenges and teach others :) Thank you - looking forward to using the kit next year as a intro to Digital Tech.”
“Absolutely loved this Kit and will be re-doing again with my class. As explained on FB our Purple Monkey had an accident and had to be replaced. Small hiccup.With Crime Scene tape on the door and detective hats on we had a great time. I can see this working as a relationship building exercise in Term 1 as well.”
“Wow what a great experience my class had with the STEAM kit, they really loved solving all the clues to find Purple Monkey. They loved being involved in the different challenges and were all fully engaged with solving the puzzles to get the next clue.
It was fabulous to see them working so well collaboratively towards the end goal. I liked how the clues were scaffolded for different abilities, enabling all the children to participate and feel fully involved.
Thank you so much for producing and sharing with us another fantastic resource for Kiwi kiddies.”
“Thank you for such a fun and awesome kit, that got the students thinking and working collaboratively. I really enjoy your kits and so do my students, it's something we look forward to each term.”
“A great resource with great details for set up. Amy gave me the kit as it was too hard for her Year 1 students. My year 2 students found some of the challenges very tricky but Year 3 students managed it well. Overall, great fun had by all. I’m looking forward to see what kits are available in 2020, Kind regards Kathy Ramsay”
“This kit was fantastic, it really tested their group work skills and they had a blast running around solving all the clues. Another fabulous kit, thank you so much.”
“An amazing kit, wouldn't have been possible to give the students such an authentic experience without the resources from SchoolKit. Some serious thinking went on and everyone was challenged. Will definitely be reusing this kit next year.”
“Thank you School Kit for another creative and engaging kit for our children! The kit was very well put together with great activities and clear instructions. The children were very engaged and worked well together in their groups.
Being a Year 2 class, many of the challenges were a bit tricky. If I was to do it again in the future, I would have a Senior Student with each group to support them as they tried to understand the clues.
Thanks again School Kit for all that you do!”
