The Jolliest Jolly Jar

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.

Green is me. Black is what the teachers set up for me.
Here is a Link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to have capitals and at the start by having a doing word. You also have to write steps.


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group did sock puppets.

I contributed to my group by bringing in materials, by thinking of the idea, by bringing jars in, by making a sock puppet, by helping other people in my group by helping make labels and by creating my jar with glitter and tissue paper. I also helped sell them at the school fair.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because we thought that little children would enjoy it.

What I learned about working with others was that we had to all agree about what our ideas were and what we did.

Do you like our idea of sock puppets in a jar?
