“The kids were able to tie this in with cross country really well. the idea of walking the length of NZ really captured the imagination of some of the students and they enjoyed getting some of the ribbons. As we were a big school we were able to get many classes onboard and knocked that target off fairly quickly.”

“What an amazing curriculum resource to combine fitness and mathematics. Our students loved this - they were able to set goals and push ourselves. Loved all the support materials. We were able to create an awesome wall display.”

“Great fun. Students loved mapping the distance and were able to search equivalent distances and make good estimations. The students were creative in ways they could add steps to their daily lives and also talk about how we can continue this outside of the activity.”

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? Some children became very committed to working towards step goals. They competed with their friends and family members. It got them out and about in their community.

“Our class had a great time with this kit which had them being more active and also got them connecting with wider family members and the community. We linked this in with our Maths programme and measurement concepts.”

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? They were all competing to get higher steps and to encourage their parents to do a lot of steps too! Lots of extended families step counts were coming in too. We got two kits for our class of 51 so this is the feedback from both myself and Jan Thompso

“The kids really enjoyed adding together their steps and seeing how far they managed to walk across NZ. It tied in really well with our measurement learning in Maths and being able to convert between cm, m and km. Measuring our steps and the distance between each one helped up to get a more accurate measurement for how far we walked. This was a great kit to get the kids active and a little competition for the most steps went a long way!”

In what ways did this kit encourage your class to engage in community collaboration? We quickly realised that we wouldn't be able to reach our goal by ourselves and that we needed to reach out further than our immediate family connections. It was great brainstorming who to target and how to reach them to share our vision and goals.

“This Healthy Active Kids kit was really enjoyable for my very sporty class. They had fantastic ideas about increasing their fitness and it was great to hear how they were getting their families out walking with them after school. I liked the measurement section of the kit. It got the kids thinking about accurate measurements. It also got my class thinking about what they considered to be their local community and how connected they are to them. We are still working on collecting names of people who will help us out and we plan to have out steps collected in the next couple of weeks. Over all it's been a fantastic learning experience.”

“Healthy Active Kids challenged us to walk the length of New Zealand in a day! We needed 278 people, walking 10,000 steps each to walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff. We reached out to the community to ask you to ";donate"; 10,000 steps. We also did our own walk (it wasn't quite 10,000 steps but we know that we would've done 10,000 each by the end of the day!)”

“We are still finishing this off, as I may have overestimated the amount of time we had in our class to complete this, the students are quite engaged and rather than one day we are completing this over time.”
