In Numeracy we have been doing Maths Boards.

In doing this we have to solve the equation in different ways to show that we understand how to solve it. 

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.

Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to make sense for the person to be able to read and understand it.


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group Created night lights.

I contributed to my group by making examples and packing the jars.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because we created our own original logo and we were the only group that did night lights.

What I learned about working with others was sometimes it can be easier with more hands to help.

How did we build community through our actions? We contributed to the fair by selling our product to raise money for the bike track.

Korfball

on Friday we learnt how to play korfball.

It is very similar to basketball and netball except there are some different rules.
like in netball you can't run with the ball.
unlike basketball you have a 360 degree radius around the hoop
It was very fun and i enjoyed it a lot.

Museum trip

Yesterday we went to the museum to see how the maori had to innovate to advance and do things they wouldn’t normally be able to do.

They had to know where to find all the special materials and where to go to get the right food.

We looked around the museum to look at how innovations in history and the tools the maori used to use.

After that we went into the museum classroom to see how those tools worked and then we got to use them.

We had lots of fun and I learned a few things I didn’t know before.

Have you gone to the museum before?

What did you learn?
