Let it fly with joy

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 have bossy verbs and make sure they sound correct and they have a title. They should also have full stops and capital letters. It is important for Instructions to have steps and the materials.

Reflection on PBL:

For our jolly jar my group made mini paper airplanes. The reason we made these was to raise money for the bike track. My favourite part of the fair was that there was a Maze.

I contributed to my group by designing and testing the planes. I also made sure the others in my group were always on task.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because they were all different colours and were very different designs to the others. Some had string around the top

What I learned about working with others was it's easier if you get to know them and work with them well. 

How did we build community through our actions? We worked with people that we would normally not work with so we bonded with the people in the group.
