Perfect PBL

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas.  The process, why culture stories, Holidays are important.  Culture is…… Traditions and where you are from
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read…. Hatupatu and the bird woman, How maui slowed the sun.

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

Reflection:
For our production I contributed by… Helping make the artwork.

I think the show might impact on others by… helping them learn about the legend battle of the mountains.

What I learned about working with others was… that you have to listen to get something done.


have you ever done a performance?
This is me

Spendid Swimming

Over the last 2 weeks we have been going to graham Condon  for swimming lessons. The first task was to find out what swimming group so we all had to show the instructors our freestyle and backstroke the were 3 different groups lane 8 lane 7 and lane 6 I was in lane 7 and my instructor was jade. For most of the days we were just doing lessons but for the last 3 days we did life jackets  boats and pajamas. Overall it was a lot of fun.
