PBL - Term 1
This term our Project Based Learning PBL has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?
First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.
We created an action plan and had an idea to make gift baskets for the teachers but then we decided to do multi sports for Paiaka so then we talked to the Paiaka teachers and they agreed to do it.
For our final product our group was running games for the children in Paiaka Hub.
How did our action build a sense of community in the school? because running fun games makes kids happy and it gives the kids the chance to experience new people and to play with different people.
I contributed by bringing the kids out and helping my group telling about the game and getting the equipment.
I think the PBL might impact on others by making the paiaka kids happy.
What I learned about working with others was hard because we could not agree on a thing to do because some people would want to do something else but other people would want to do something and know one would agree.
