our pbl tumu performance

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. tradition, where you
are from, food type and special occasions.

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 how the giraffe got its long neck  I have written my own legend called how the Lion
got its mane i retold the legend of how the lion got its mane in my own words.



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.

Reflection: 

For our production I contributed by being a musician. I was playing the percussion and the sound effects. 



I think the show might impact on others by teaching others about battle of the mountains.



What I learned about working with others was that you need to be confident about what your doing.

In my Reading Workshops I have been learning to ask good quality questions. I have created a
Word search to use with the story that we have been reading
