putting kindness into action

PBL - Term 1

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?

First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and put it into action by deciding on the one of twelve ideas that we had. We decided by finding out which action was better and which one would work more efficiently.

Reflection:
For our final product our group made the kindness cards printed and laminated them and handed them out at the gate but i couldn't get there on time.  

How did our action build a sense of community in the school? By letting all the students be more caring and kind.

I contributed by helping make the kindness quotes and cutting them out.

I think the PBL might impact on others by giving someone a cheerful quote if they were having a bad day.

What I learned about working with others was that it is easier to work with someone then without.

Do you think it would be easier to work with or without a group?
