Te Kura absolutely love the kits. They are used during our Huinga ako sessions and have proven a real hit. Akonga in Wairoa and Tairawhiti receive lessons and enjoy the hands-on activities and links to the world around them. Science has come alive for them. Thank you.

This was a very good resource. The activities were well explained and supported with the resources provided in the kit. The kids really enjoyed spending a week with this resource, they particularly loved the small skeletons they could manipulate. It lead them on other learning journey’s as they had questions they wanted answered. Thanks for the opportunity to have this resource.

It was a fun, hands-on kit that my class loved. I had a student teacher, and she found the kit really easy to use. She could just pick up the teacher manual and teach a lesson. So good!
