Jolliest jolly jars.

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 have a title, bossy Verbs. The instructions need to make sense
and need to be clear.   You need to write the Materials. 

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jar’s  my group created animal bookmarks.  We made instructions for four
different bookmarks and they were dog’s, cats, rabbits and elephants. 

I contributed to my group by bringing in supplies. The supplies I brought in was card and I
helped write the instructions.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because you had a lot of different colours of card and you could
draw your own animal face.We painted our jars in bright colours and sprinkled glitter onto the
jars.   

What I learned about working with others was that everyone needs to contribute and help out.

How did we build community through our actions?

We made jolly jars to be sold at the fair. All the money that we collected was so that our school
can have a bike track. I helped sell the jolly jars at the stand.
