Holly jolly jolly jars
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.
I learnt that instructions need to be started with a power verb, a title and what you will need (which is materials ).
Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group made slime.
I contributed to my group by writing the instructions .
Our Jolly Jar was creative because you can use it as a stress ball when you put it in a balloon and tie a knot in it .
What I learned about working with others is that it is important to help each other .
How did we build community through our actions? We got money for the bike track in the
back paddock .
