Performance blog

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 Family and celebrations……

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 anansi brings stories to the world and crow brings daylight and maui tames the sun….

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 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… Dancing I was in the battle and it’s exciting 

I think the show might impact on others by...dance and helping others showing their true self

What I learned about working with others was...teamwork and synchronization and helping out 

my experience with swimming

I had fun at swimming but i would like to swim without a   lesson. Overall it was fun and exiting im year 6 so im technically in the big pool. But im really short so the end was hard but we had life jackets one day. And next we went on a boat to show us if we fell off a boat in the ocean. That was pretty cool we had life jackets so it was at the deep end so we didn't you know drown. Really fun experience but it was two weeks which was long but fun.
