It was fantastic. We had a blast. We found lots of other experiments etc that we could do with or about water online. The children were really enthusiastic and interested in what was happening. There was a lot of science and questionning that took place in our classroom. We are very lucky to have been able to use it.
Wonderful Wai

Brilliant resource! Takes all the stress out of tracking down resources, which we just don’t have the time or budget for. Kids are engaged and exploring theories and discovering so much more. THANK YOU.

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

Ngatirangi School
This was a very interesting kit to use in an urban school – a lot of new learning for students and discussion around where our milk comes from. The digestive system teacher-led activity was super engaging and “yucky” (the information certainly stuck!).
Moo to 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.
