PBL

The driving question for our PBL over Term 2 and part of this Term has been, “How can we as performing artists communicate positive messages to an audience?”

We learnt about The Arts, in particular the elements of Dance, Drama and Music. We read a number of fables or fairy tales and learnt about their positive message. We then took this learning and applied it to our own play writing script. 

In my group there was Esther, Chole and Harper K and we planned out what our script, and fairy tale was going to be. Click here to see our planning document. 

Once we had planned our ideas, we started to write our play writing script. The fairy tale or fable our script is based on is The three little pigs.

 The positive message that we wanted the audience to take away was that hard work and time pay off. It means while the first two pigs quickly built homes and had more free time to play, the last pig had more time to work on his house. 

 

The Google Slide shows everyone’s performance in Tumu, my group’s performance is on slide 9

Something that I enjoyed about this project was the acting because I love acting and it was so cool to do acting out of acting class 

Something that I found challenging or would change about this project was writing the script because everyone kept adding things and deleting things and it was hard to think of what to say. 

I am most proud of this project because me and my group worked together well and we had a great time. 

Do you like acting?

 

My school trip

Hi this week me and my class were lucky enough to go on a school trip to Christchurch city to learn about climate change we did lots of  Activities. One of the Activities was going out by the road and writing how many cars, Evs and lots of other things another one is where we went do to Ōtautahi Orchard – edible garden and we tried mint and edible flowers they were HORRIBLE!!!!

My favourite part of the trip was when we learnt how many % people used cars and EVs. 

Something that I found interesting was that Agriculture and farms are very bad for the environment.  I did not know that meat is so bad for the environment. 

Something that shocked me is that 80% of people use non-Evs cars and – 1% use Evs.  I never knew that people can use so many non-EVs. 

Something that I am now going to do to be more sustainable is to have meat less Mondays and Thursdays. 

How will you try to be more sustainable?
