PBL - Term 1
This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was:
How can we build community through our actions?
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 came up with a few ideas to do:
first we thought of a bake sale to raise money but that didn't work out, so we thought of a rubbish pick up to make are community nice and clean. But in the end we chose to give out kindness quotes to reward those who show kindness all the time.

Reflection:
For our final product our group created quote cards and a small bag of candy to show our appreciation for those who show kindness in our school community.
How did our action build a sense of community in the school?
We built a sense of community by rewarding those who show kindness even when it is hard to.
I contributed by sharing my thoughts and ideas with the group and being there to give the
kindness quotes out to those who deserved one.

I think the PBL might impact on others by showing that you can be kind no matter what and that no act
of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted.

What I learned about working with others was team work can create an amazing product, and I
learnt to share my ideas more and be more patient.
