This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.
I learnt that instructions need to be understood and use some bossy verbs. We need capital letters and steps to follow. It also has to make sense.
Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group did magnets because it was something we all agreed on. We all had lots of fun.
I contributed to my group by getting clay and also my jar.
Our Jolly Jar was creative because we put on the outside yellow and pink tissue paper and pva glue so it stuck. We also did a riddle. It said I come in many shapes, sizes and colours. I stick to many surfaces but I am not sticky what am I?
What I learned about working with others was hard but fun at the same time because you get new ideas
How did we build community through our actions?
We raised lots of money for our bike track.
