"This was a lot of fun and the student products turned out beautifully. The kids were really pleased with their results."
"First came across your work on Pinterest, and have to say, I love everything you come up with. You are one super talented teacher!! I did this unit with my Year 7/8s a couple of years ago and forgot to post feedback. But the results were amazing and the students absolutely loved it. They were so proud of their results, and your resource made it so easy. You included so much in this incredibly thorough resource that I really didn't have to do very much at all. Thank-you!"
