PBL Performance

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 come from,and what you do to celebrate
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 Maui and the sun 

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...Doing the battle dances

I think the show might impact on others by...Telling them about the myth of the battle of the mountains.

What I learned about working with others was...It was fun.

Follow up

In reading this week we have been making raps,drawings and articles about the Maori culture and how to stop it fading away I made a poster on google drawings.

The reason why to go to the Marae because it is one of the things that are Important in the Maori culture.

And I chose to do a poster because we could promote more people to think about the Maori culture

Team building

Welcome to my first blog of this term.  In the Tumu hub we have been doing team building, which is learning to work with each other.  We each had to go to all the Tumu teachers like Miss Dungey, Miss Kearsley, Miss Brittenden and Mrs Roach they each had something planned like Miss Kearsley had building a stretcher using newspaper,1 metre of tape,and string.You had to build a stretcher that can hold a bag of books that weighs 5 kg's and a cup of water all of the people in Miss Kearsley's class made it without it breaking in half some people's almost snapped but didn't it was a near break.

Miss Dungey did making a chain using paper and tape the challenge was to make the longest chain using the materials that you got given by the teacher and it was all about teamwork lots people made very long chains .


Mrs Roach did cup stacking the challenge was to stack the cups without touching it with your hands or  clothes. You had to stack it using string and a rubber band you had stack them a quick as you can lots of people finished in less then a minute!


Miss Brittenden did she did making the highest tower using dry pasta straws and marshmallows and had to be free standing it was easier to use a square on the bottom because it would be easier to make the tower freestanding lots of towers fell over and broke into pieces at the they measured how tall it is.

My favourite was Mrs roach cup stacking because it was very challenging because your not using your hands is challenging
