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.
Did you come to the St Francis of Assisi school Fair?
