Pros and cons about lock down


Last week on Wednesday we went to LEVEL 4 LOCK DOWN!!! Which meant that we were not allowed to go outside of our propitiate unless we were going to get things from the supermarket, chemist, go for a small walk or essential workers. So far my lock down has been alright. The good things about being on lock down are we can sleep in on weekdays, I get to spend time with my family and I get to play with Eddie, my dog, all day. The bad things are I don't get to see my friends in person, I can't go on small bike rides by myself and I can't go clothes shopping.
This is a picture I made on google drawings about how the lock down is going for me and my family, we are playing cards.

Is you city or country on lock down? And if so is your lock down going?

Do not fear light is here!!

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. 


Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be very specific otherwise it is going to be very hard to read
and make your product. 


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jars, my group did DIY Nightlights.
It was a lot of fun making our product because we were able to trial it to see if it would work
and it did. In my group I had Cooper, Julia and Jachai.

I contributed to my group by writing our instructions, coming up with the idea and by helping
colouring with the design.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because you can design your own DIY Nightlights.
Also it can make people feel less afraid of the dark.

What I learned about working with others was it is very different than working with your friends
in a good way, because you know less about that person/people and you probably will get
more done with that person/people.

How did we build community through our actions? We built  community by making a product
that we knew people would want to buy and the money that we razid is going to the community
bike track.
