Jump in to a jolly jolly jar.

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 simple, clear, easy to read, you have to list the materials and you have to have a title and how to do the thing.   


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group made snow globes. We did the idea because it was different  

I contributed to my group by making the instructions and bringing some of the glitter. I also listened to others ideas. I shared my ideas to my group too.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because not many people did it and it was unique.

What I learned about working with others was you aren’t the boss, you don't make all the ideas and you have to listen to others. 

How did we build community through our actions? I helped by moving the jars over to another table.  We raised money for the bike track.
