“Another awesome resource kit that has all the tools to be successful. The children loved the opportunity to take on roles and lead in areas where they had strengths. We struggled a bit to come up with a project that was connected to us and our community, probably left it a bit late in the year to get stuck in.”

The were supposed to head to rest homes with our baked goods and singing but this was cancelled due to our increased numbers of covid cases.”

“At the beginning my class struggled, but once they had their project sorted, they were away. Our project was to visit a retirement village and the class played a variety of games with the residents. They provided morning tea for the residents, which included home baking and made them Christmas cards. The residents loved it. So much so, that we are continuing with this as part of our programme next year. Thank you so much from 7C Bream Bay College.”
