Jolly jolly jars

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  clear, easy to read they also have to have steps and a title.

Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group we created stress balls.

I contributed to my group by getting the balloons and the rice. I also helped by coming up with some of the group ideas.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because no one else did stress balls and I think people will really like them.  It might also help them when they are stressed.

What I learned about working with others was you have to be patient with your group even when times may be tough.

How did we build community through our actions?
By fundraising for the bike track in the backfield for many people to enjoy and we can all come together to play in one big community.
