Awesome p.b.l term 3

For p.b.l this term we have been learning about Innovation and how it can improve our lives where did lots of activities based on the innovation we were anybody's I don't with Amelia for the car we weren't allowed to touch cars on their hands so we had to make something to move it across the table without touching it. We both got three straws and summer take them together then we breathe through the school as and made the car move Sellotape two piece of paper to the car so that it had more airflow so it could go faster.



We also made boats we tried to see how many Marbles we could fit in before it sank the record with 64.we thought we could  never get over that but then we got 91, we won! We had the choice to make it out of some things tape, straws, foil,6 plastic cups and paper we all had some ideas that they weren't letting me tell them my idea in my boat group my team was Titanic 2.0 i was with milly zach Cairo and me
my idea was put for plastic cups upside down and Sellotape straws to the bottom and then we turned it over and put foil on the inside and we put the two other cups in the middle of the four cups so they wouldn't roll out the side then we we tried the float test it worked! 

What would you make if you had the choice to make a boat, move a car or make a plane!

Stop cutting down trees

In reading this term our focus has been looking at articles around climate change.

I have learned  that: We are polluting the world more than we think and people are not stopping or making a change. Luckily there are some people who are trying to do good. I also learned that deforestation is when people cut down trees, they are cutting down their habitats and don't even care, this makes me feel sad and angry,

New words that I discovered are:
1. fossil fuel

2. Greenhouse Gases

3. compost

I have created a climate change strike  poster:

Why are we using so much plastic and how do you think we can stop it?

this term we have been looking at climate change Glenn from VBase came to talk to us. he is the food & drink manager. After a cricket match there was lots of plastic left behind. Glenn wonted to stop that They tried different ideas. They now have reusable cups. People rent cups for $1, they get their money back when they give  the cups back. There is a few problems with the cups because  people steal them from other people to get money. in the last 2 years they have saved nearly two million cups.

i think its good that he saw the plastic!!

cross country

                   

                    I hate cross country. I often get stitches. This year the 

                     weather was better. I watched my brother run, it was fun. I was happy to see my mum and dad. They missed my brothers race because he was early.  In my race i started off running, someone stood on my foot. I ran the first lap, it was hard. I heard my mum cheer as finished the first lap. On the second lap i had to stop running and walk because i got a stitch. I started to run again when i saw the finish. My mum and dad cheered as i finished. I was really pleased when it was over. I am happy i don't have to do it for another year.

P.B.L - Term 1

This term our Project Based Learning (P.B.L) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?

First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and

Reflection: to speed kindness
For our final product our group we did: sports with juniors

I contributed by: i shared my ideas but no one listened

I think the P.B.L might impact on others by: helping us work together

What I learned about working with others was to: listen to every one and stay focused
