Our Tamariki love these resources and their engagement has amazed me. The kits cover the curriculum and make it so easy to use. I’m learning so much as well. The information our Tamariki retain and pass onto their matua is a beautiful experience to witness. I so wish we had this when I was at school

My class really enjoyed using this kit. I opened it up and had different learning stations after teaching the activity cards. It was fantastic to hear the students’ Te Reo Maori increase.

We did most of the activities in this kit and the students loved it! The kids loved using the stop watches too. The UV flashlights and discovering more “germs” on our hands was a hit.The sneezing zone experiment soon made us forget and we had loads of fun. Thank you for putting these kits together and making them fun to learn Science concepts. Also thank you for all the clear instructions plus even instructions on how to get everything back into the container! Much appreciated.

Absolutely engaging and easy to use. Loved the laminated cards with instructions on Able to share plans with release teacher and LA so easily. The best bit was the in-depth science knowledge explained in the resources which is often lacking in science resources where you can extend those more divergent learners.
