Testimonials
“The Forest & Bird Youth event you ran has finally inspired me to finish organising a lesson with our year 11 sustainability class on Predator Free 2050! Super well run with an amazing balance of practical and theory-based activities! I really loved it!”
“Looking forward to updates as this resource (The Seed Pod) evolves! Your tracking game is outstanding, thank you so much for creating this :D Our Hagley College Year 10 students have a unit on kaitiakitanga this term and these resources fit in perfectly!”
- Poppy (yr13 student participant)
“I love the concept of Learning Pods which works well for us homeschooling and gives us a weekly focus for science. We are able to cover reading, writing as well as diving deeply into science topics through the variety of resources included in each learning pod. It suits the different needs of visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning for each of my children.”
“The science communication comics have been a fun way to engage in learning with my children. My son loves graphic novels and really enjoys the comics. Even though he is still learning to read, he is able to grasp the storylines and asks further questions for comprehension. The colour choices used by the artist brings life to the lessons in each comic.”
