How has this kit help develop the resilience of your learners? It has exposed them to trying some new things and to not rely on how it looks or smells. I also insisted they had to 'give it a go'. Most students were more than likely to copy their friends which made them try more things.

What opportunities have arisen for future learning from this kit? I would continue blindfold testing and smelling memories. Students need to try something lots of times before they will have a good try at eating it. I will revisit some of the activities as new students arrive in my class.

How did this kit promote student engagement and enjoyment around taste literacy/fair testing/reducing waste? It created lots of discussion with the students. The waste reducing aspect tired in nicely with a unit we teach. The blindfold activity was fun and the different responses and reaction the students gave when smelling the cards was hilarious.

How has the taste literacy of your students developed throughout this kit? The students enjoyed some of the activities however I have New Entrants in a low decile school so it was a bit of a challenge for them. It definitely made them more aware of their eating.

“The students enjoyed the smell test with funny reactions of what each other did and didn't like. The opportunity of Smell Memories created lots of different discussions and showed the students how we relate to smells differently and there is no right or wrong answer. When trying something blindfold they had to use their sense of smell and taste instead of what it looked like. Overall the resources was well put together and created a lot of discussion in our New Entrant class. Thanks Bitelab for allowing us to explore though this resource.”
