Have no fair Jolly Jars are here!

                                              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.  The people that were in my group were Karter and Sidney.

Here is a link to my instructions. Link

I learnt that instructions need to be clear and easy for the reader to read and it has to be step by step. They also  need to make sense. 

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jar my group made pet rocks for them to make themselves. How we did this was we put about 5 rocks in each jar then we put some different colored sharpie some paints and more. 

I contributed to my group by helping get the things we needed and giving some ideas also helping them when they needed it.  

Our Jolly Jar was creative because… everyone was doing origami so we thought ours were really original and some people will really enjoy it. 

What I learned about working with others was we need to be very patient with each other and help each other out even when it may be hard. 

How did we build community through our actions? Well we sold all of our jars and we made a lot of money to go to our bike track in the back field. This is for many people to enjoy together as one big community.  

Questions:

Did you come to the st Francis of Assisi fair?

Do you do PBL?

Has your school ever had a fair?

Thursday sports day!

                             Thursday sport!

This term for four weeks we are doing some different sports than what we would normally do. Those sports are korfball, cricket and lawn bowls. Each week we rotate around each one of them. So far I have done lawn bowls. From looking at it you would think it is quite easy but once you start it is quite a challenge. The cool thing is that I didn't even know those sports were real until we did them. I am really excited to do cricket and korfball and I have never played korfball before so I'm excited to see how it goes. 

     
QUESTIONS:
Have you ever played korfball, cricket or lawn bowls?
If you have was it fun?
Do you do Thursday sport?
      

THE WAR STORY

 Welcome back today my blog is about me and Eilish's War story that was about the trenches in war. Here it is:

Dear Bonnie

It is now day 22. We have moved to another trench. All we have to eat is bully beef stew, dry hard biscuits and  dry beef. There is a ridiculous amount of rats and to make it even better they are the size of cats. The smell is absolutely horrible. Many of us have lost close ones and without them it has got harder. Every day we are getting weaker and weaker. We miss you a lot and can’t wait to come home. Sadly, the bad news is our friend Margaret who was a nurse got heat stroke and passed away. Hope to see you when we get back, Ariella and Eilish.

Museum Fun!!!

                             Museum Fun!!!

             Yesterday my hole hub went on a trip to the Museum. We had groups. The people in my group were Millie, Caoimhe, Blake, Noah and my self. The parent ( the person that was looking after us) was Millie's mum. There was so many different things that were so interesting. We went in the classroom and in the class room we got do and see all the things that the first people to aotearoa used. It was amazing!!!
