PBL

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?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas.  Culture is Where you are from, Traditions, Religions, Holidays, Stories, Reunions and Celebrations.
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 read Hatupatu and the Bird Woman .I retold the legend of Hatupatu and the Bird Woman 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:
For our production I contributed by play music on the guitar and also the ukulele.

I think the show might impact on others by the music and the acting that brings the storey alive.

What I learned about working with others was hidden music talents.


Thanks for reading my blog. Do play any Instruments? Come back for more soon!

Reading evidence

In reading this week we read an article from Kiwi kids News about Fortnite. I had to talk about why I thought the author wrote this text. This is my follow up task

I hope you agree with what I think. Do you agree with me? Come back for more soon!
