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.
I learnt that instructions need to make sense and need to step by step so that someone can make the product.
Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group made paper planes.
I contributed to my group by collecting the paper. I also helped with decorating the jars.
Our Jolly Jar was creative because we used different colours for the out side. We thought about how we could make it stand out.
What I learned about working with others was that you both have to agree on some thing and communicate.
How did we build community through our actions I made a jar to be sold at the fair to make money for the community bike track
