DYE Christmas Cards

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was;
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.

S for Science

T for Technology

E for Engineering

A for the Arts

and M for Maths

Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws
that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.

Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the
second challenge because … we worked as a team and we each got to listen to each others
peoples ideas

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using
the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.

How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create
enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity team made this…
My team made Christmas cards.

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was… working together as a team and selling a lot of cards to
people, but working together was the best though.

Next time I would… Maybe selling more Christmas cards to people.

I would keep the same group because we work well together.

Production

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……What heritage you
come from.

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 battle of the mountains , Maui and the giant sun.

I have written my own legend called/I retold the legend of… Maui go's fishing

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...Making origami and painting.

I think the show might impact on others by...dancing

What I learned about working with others was...That you can learn a lot.

My reading evidence

Adding decimals

So you are probably wondering how on earth do you do this question well let me tell you.

41.5+34.1=You would start with doing 41+34=75So we have done that now comes the hard part for some people. So this is what you will do .5+0.1=6.0Now you add those two things together 75.6

Here is another question.

94.5+46.5=

You do the same thing what we did with the last question.

94+46=140

.5+.5+1.0

Now you add it all together

140+1.0=141

PBL

                                    PBL

In PBL I have been learning about how you can use your hands, your heart and your head to create a healthier me.
We had a choice of doing mindfulness, nutrition, physical activity or brain science.
I chose nutrition because I wanted to challenge my self to do something I didn't know much about. 
My question is how much food does a ten year old need to eat in a week, the answer is 33 foods, I bet you want to know how I got the answer.

This is how I got it, I had to brain storm some ideas and this is what I got
 1.I need to research food with my parents.

2.Try it out by myself.

3.Start a weekly Diary  

When I eat something I will check what the sugar.

Do you want to hear a song Sugar Rap

The end hope you liked it
