Project Based Learning and The Arts

       This term our Project Based Learning (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 what country you are from and you normally have tradition’s for example Spanish their tradition is on November 1st they do “day of the dead” and sugar skull’s are a main part of that-
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 read the Battle of the Mountains and I have written my own legend called The sun the sky and the moons battle I retold the legend of the battle of the mountain's except different people

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organizing the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

What I learned about working with others was….work as a team
