Kailey in Hawaii

My step sister Kaliy got on an airplane to Hawaii. Hawaii is a place with palm trees and beautiful beaches and they also have amazing shows. At night here do you know it is night in Hawaii and it is day time here? When it is night in New Zealand it’s day time there. It’s like you’re in a toaster. They have tropical flowers and they drink from a coconut and do dancing with grass skirts. I have always wanted to go there but it costs a lot of money to go to that place.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? If so, what did you like?

Helping our Environment

This term in reading we have been reading lots of articles about the environment. I have enjoyed learning about the the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, recycling and composting.

Please look at my slide below. I have written some key ideas from some articles that I have read.

Kindness Cards

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?

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 we decided to make kindness cards. We did this as we thought it would make people feel happy.

Reflection:
For our final product our group handed out kindness cards on thursday to hubs and teachers and parents.

How did our action build a sense of community in the school? It did this by us showing kindness and this made others feel happy.

I contributed by halping  coming up with ideas and cuting out paper

I think the PBL might impact on others by making people feel happy.

What I learned about working with others was working with people makes me happy and it is important to encourage each other.
