Great resource, but due to time restraints we did not get time to complete all the activities. I thoroughly enjoy using Te Reo intergrated with my students. The kupu Putaiao are brilliant, some are new to me, even though I am fluent, some of the new scientific words are unknown. Well done congratulations to the Reo interpreters

Love that they are easy to follow for the kids and teachers a like. I had to leave a couple for relievers to run and they were able to pick them up and continue.

Avonhead School
Great hands on and informative activities that covered many science concepts. Helpful teachers manual. The students thoroughly enjoyed it and it was suitable for diversity in learning abilities.

Opawa School
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.

Sunny Hills School
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.
