kindness changes everything

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 we came up with a couple of ideas such as rubbish clean up and raising money for kids can but after a few weeks we wanted to came up with a new Idea because a rubbish clean up would be to had to organising . We did not like the raising money for kids can because we wanted our idea to be free for our community so we decide to make kindness cads that we would give out for free.

How did our action build a sense of community in the school by showing every one kindness pays it forward.

For our final product our group made kindness cards with lollies stapled to it. We decided that we were going to give them out to people that have shown kindness .

I contributed by helping our team decide on our idea and spouting our team also making our idea happen and by buying the thing that we need.
   

I think the PBL might impact on others by showing other people that kindness always pays back and that showing kindness is the right thing to do.

What I learned about working with others was hard when we did not get along but I think  that it was easier to work as a team than by myself.
