The Best PBL Legend!

Welcome back to A's awesome blog!
This term our 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 when you live in a country you have different hobbies and different food cultures.

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 retold the legend of the wise wizard and some curious cats.

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains.

 Some people wrote the script, some other 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 helping backstage and with the props.

I think the show might impact on others like if they did not know this story they know it now.

What I learned about working with others was you can make things better and bigger.

Craig smith Who wrote the Wonky Donkey Came to our school and talked about his books he wrote.
I really enjoyed the bit where I got his signature my 2nd favourite was singing the songs.
I also learnt that you can be famous by writing in lots of ways. one you could be a journalist , you could be a script writer and a story writer. There's loads more ways. The thing that really stood out was that he had puppets and he was really funny.

Have you ever done this at the pools?
