What type of project did your class undertake? Greenspace Project

“The kit was user friendly, and the students enjoyed using it. They liked having different roles and learning about volunteering from the videos.

What type of project did your class undertake? Project for Those in Need

“This kit was very cool to do with the tamariki. Unfortunately, another teacher had ordered the same kit from this site, and so I chose to join his classes to do the project with them, so we did not double up on projects with the same age group. Overall, great outcome, the students put together kai packs for our local kaumatua, they loved the manaakitanga.”
