How can the learning in the kit go beyond the classroom to improve whānau wellbeing? The awareness of how veges can be cooked and included. That you can get veggies in a tin and use them in everyday cooking.

What barriers do your students face to access healthy eating? They are not in charge of the grocery shopping, financial hardship. For my school they are 45 minutes from a main city, so have more limited choices that cost more.

“The Students, although skeptical and reluctant at first actually had a blast. They were surprised at how good the cakes turned out which promoted discussion around what other veges could be involved. My students are Year 7/8 and were able to see that the fluid level in each veges can make a difference to the cake, which I was really pleased with. It brought out some great critical thinking skills”
