Dalefield School
This kit was amazing. The tamariki loved using the activities and were very engaged. The activities were at a good level and the learning outcomes were perfect for our unit we are doing. Everything was ready to go, so it saved so much time and made science accessible for me as a teacher to present to the class. Without this kit our space activities would have been very boring. Thank you very much!

This is the great thing about this resource is that teachers are free to adapt everything to their own class. Collaborative Learning of the measuring tools. The concepts in the box on the whole was too hard. My kids don’t even know what a stop watch, timer tape measure is let alone the harder concept tools. I pushed the desks to the side got the kits out took the tools out of the boxes and let the kids explore.

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

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!
