PBL term 1 2020, 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 be easy to read for all ages have a title and materials that you will need to the product.


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group made playdough.

I contributed to my group by bringing the materials so we could make the playdough.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because not many other groups were making playdough and how we decorated our jar.

What I learned about working with others was that you can make new friends and you might find something that they are good at that you did not know.

How did we build community through our actions? We helped make money for the bike track and we made something that someone will enjoy.
