The tamariki loved this Science kit, they were able to look at some of the food in a different way, the experiments were awesome. Nga mihi nui ki a koe, koutou ko nga tangata I awhina ki te whakahaere tenei mahi Putaiao.

The children absolutely loved this kit. The whole class was engaged and excited the whole time. It was my favourite science kit so far and the children said the same. The range of materials was very interesting for the children and they loved exploring the concepts of floating and sinking. The ‘flinking’ activity was their favourite. Great fun, great learning! Thanks so much. I have told all my colleagues that I highly recommend this kit – particularly for younger learners.

What a wonderfully creative kit. The children loved solving the crimes. We had great feedback from the teachers who were working with this kit too. The children were really engaged and the teachers loved the topic. Many thanks for another fabulous three weeks of science.

The kits were really well resourced and bilingual which were awesome and made it user friendly for our tauira of maori background.

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
