“We had a great time with this kit. Thanks to School Kit who allowed us to hold off using the kit until Term 4, when we combined with our EOTC Week of activities. The students were engaged and used the kit to thoughtfully ask questions and have a desire to continue caring for our local environment.”

In what ways did this kit develop understanding of the cultural significance of water in Te Ao Māori? We looked into the significance of waterways to the livelihood of communities. Made good links to our work around the Aotearoa History Show which also delves into this a bit
“What an awesome resource for our class! I have a big group of passionate environmentalists who were very interested in finding out about this. We will be using it again in the new year as a launch into an inquiry about making change in our community. The teacher resources were amazing and super helpful to a beginner like myself!”

In what ways did this kit develop understanding of the cultural significance of water in Te Ao Māori? Tamariki understood that water quality affects all living things and that everything is connected and hour actions (good or bad) make a difference
“Hello - so sorry it's taken so long for feedback I've been hunting for my photos but can't find them :(. I've used the kit several times with different ages and it really is a great resource for deepening thinking, gathering effective data (using the Nature of Science). Children were more motivated being able to use the equipment and it thoroughly deepened their understanding of the issues facing our precious waterways. THATHANKYOU so much. Regards Ali Duncan”
