“Thanks school kit for a fun and engaging stem challenge! We love stem challenges in room 19 and this was one of our favourites. We loved making the circuits and role playing as secret agents!
While we had heaps of fun, some of the instructions for teachers were confusing and hard to read and could have been made simpler.
Thanks again for all of the resources inside the kit- it’s amazing how many elements there were to the challenge!
Kind regards
Sarah Lester and Rm 19, Ilam school”
“What a fun kit. the children were thoroughly involved and really enjoyed the activites and many clues. We worked collaboratively with another class, and boy did we have to think!!
Thaks School Kit for another amazing experince.”
“What an amazing kit! My class had so much fun and got right into it. Our principal was amazing too and played his role very well. I was so impressed with the amount of planning and organising involved in this kit. The instructions were detailed and easy to follow. There was a wonderful range of different challenges and the kids were fully engaged. At the end I asked my class what their favourite thing was about the activity and they said - working together in our squads to solve the clues. We all had such a great time. Thank you schools kit for such a fun, engaging, cooperative activity! What a wonderful way to end the year.”
“So we just did our day of looking for the purple monkey and the kids absolutely loved it. They used all their skills that they had been learning over the year - unplugged coding, collaboration, negotiations, trial and error and maths, literacy and writing skills. The students took on the story and were absolutely engaged with the content and what they had to do to get to the end of task, they were also worried about if Purple Monkey had been found and returned safely back to school. The only negatives would be that we did it late in the year and our teacher brains may not have been working the best, also that the content was very full on in terms of what we had to understand and do for the kids to complete the task. But having said this now that I have interacted and completed this task I now know how to do it - so bring it on School Kit you guys have some crazy brains to come up with stuff and it really hit the mark with our students, so thank you we loved it!”
“This kit is amazing! It promotes problem solving, collaborative skills and critical thinking. Such a fun idea involving management staff in the students' learning too. I will be topping it up and using it again next year.”
“Thank you so much school kit for the amazing CLASS Mystery kit that you sent out. My class had a wonderfull time cracking codes, solving clues and working together to find Purple Monkey!!!! What a great experience!”
“This kit was absolutely brilliant. The end.
Nah just kidding - I definitely want to commend the people that put this kit together. It was so engaging, challenging to just the right level and made my kids all want to be secret agents in the CIA.
Some of the instructions were a little hard to get your head around and didn't really make sense until you actually began the activities.
All in all it was probably the best kit I have had as a teacher and my class have said it was the most fun thing we did all year (even better than our trip to Flip Out - the local trampoline place)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
