“I was completely overwhelmed as a teacher at the beginning on how to implement this kit with a Year 3/4 class but once I had worked it out it has become one of the highlights of the year. The responsibility the children took in their roles was fantastic and I am sure this is something they will never forget. What an amazing kit and an amazing opportunity for children to volunteer. I am so pleased in a year of chaos we had a moment of kindness and compassion. Thank you School Kit for creating this kit and for the sponsors.”
