My PBL (what we where selling at the market day)

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.

S for Science

T for Technology

E for Engineering

A for the Arts

and M for Maths

Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws
that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.

Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the
second challenge because we where had better team work and it was easy to make.

In Literacy we learned to write up Science Experiment and to write a technology report
using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.

How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create
enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made mini sling shots to play a game where you where you try to hit a painting
if you did you would win a prize like stress balls,lollies,Loom bands and you could buy
perfume.

Reflection:it was fun selling the staff at the market and seeing what there was at the
market and it was fun making the staff and testing and it was really fun.

My highlight from this PBL was selling the product.

Next time I would: do something different like cross bow

sfoa firer on the 4.12.18 and that the date

Hello I am Leo from the PBL group sss which stands for sling it,smell it and score it. You're probably wondering what does that mean? Well I will tall you what that means: the sling it part means you will be using mini sling shots and you will be shooting at a picture. You will be into win some prizes like lollies and stress balls. The game will be 1.50$.  The smell it is for perfume which we will be selling for $1.50. Last but not least is score it which means you get prizes when you hit the picture with the paper ball.

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
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. Culture is food, clothes, dancing and celebration.
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 have written my own Legend called the Half Cow Fish and half man (I made it up) in my own words.

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: We had a good time doing everything to get the play ready.

For our production I contributed by...playing the music and making the book

I think the show might impact on others by learning about the Battle of the Mountains

What I learned about working with others was that lots of people are good at art

Have you been in a big play before?

the beautiful fantail

The beautiful fantail

Summary: Jojo and Jojo sister Piri have a fantail come through their house. Piri  was trying to get it out and then Jojo and his sister said what are you doing” “trying to get a fantail out because somebody in your family dies. Spoiler alert: It was just a pair of socks on the washing line, but it had the shadow of the bird.  

have you read this book?

maths poster of rounding and compensating

HI
 I am back to talk about what we are doing in maths and we had to make a poster and pick a strategy and i pick rounding and compensating and I'am going show you it now.


Rounding and compensating

Hi I am here to talk about rounding and compensating it’s a easy thing to learn like an example 198+92 so you take the 2 from 92 then you put the 2 onto 198 then you have 200 so then it will be 200+90=290

See it’s easy to learn so you should go try it when you have a hard question you can use that strategy

And also make even numbers so it will be easier

Here is a example like 624+126 so you put  1 onto the 624 then you have 625. So then you take 1 from 126 then you have 125 so then it will be 625+125=750  

                                       Culture
Our learning focus for PBL this term is about cultural stories


I’m from the Netherlands and we have lots of cool clothes and food in the Netherlands.
 For food we have hagelslag which is really good on bread

For clothes we have clogs which are wooden shoes and clothes with patterns on them.

In the Netherlands they have lots .of windmills  and lots of colourful flowers. 
They also do dances and their queen and king  names are Máxima  Willem-Alexande. The queen and king come to NZ every year to see all the dutch people here in NZ. There is a dutch society in Christchurch were they do lost of staff like plays attitudes every year.

 Thank you for reading.
