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 my group and I made kindness tickets for each hub that the teachers then choose kids to come to our fun zone if they are choosing kind. We all did our fun zone on friday at morning tea and lunch. Morning tea was for Tumu we did apple bobbing, M&M tossing, The chocolate cutting game and tasting and smelling test. each 5 kids were put into groups of 2 for each activity the smelling and tasting testing was a big hit .the kids from the hubs seemed to enjoy it!
Reflection:
For our final product our group The kids on morning tea from tumu was Max,Frankie ,Lara,Archie ,Daniel and Benjamin. First we started off with M&M tossing first we grabbed one plastic cone and gave it to Frankie and lara got M&M’s and when she threw it Frankie tries to throw some M&M’s into the cone and if they get some M&M’s in the cone they get to eat it and then we had apple bobbing. the water was freezing they tried getting a apple out of the bucket. it was tricky. next the chocolate cutting game we cut the chocolates in four blocks and see who can get the apple’s out with their mouths lastly the smelling and taste testing we had mayo,fruit burst,vanilla scent and lime scent that was our biggest hit so everyone did our activities!
We did this for our PBL because our school value is choosing kind so we decided to do kindness tickets so the kids will learn how to be kind.
I contributed by buying the chocolate for the chocolate game, setting up the games and helping with ideas.
I think the PBL might impact on others by inspiring others to be kind. This will make people feel happy. When they were playing they looked excited.
What I learned about working with others was Easy because you get to share what you think and share your ideas and it makes you do your quicker.
