The GPGP (Great pacific Garbage patch)

 The Great pacific Garbage patch (GPGP)

This term in reading we have been reading about the environment. I have enjoyed The GPGP it means the Great pacific Garbage patch.

For reading this week, my group read this article: save our seas!

The new Ideas I have now since I have read this text are:

• the GPGP is 3 times the size of France
• it contains around 1.8 trillion pieces of rubbish
• it is in the pacific ocean.
• I have learnt that the GPGP had 1.8 trillion pieces of rubbish.

We have also been reading many articles about saving our planet that relate to our PBL question. Below is a slide summarising the key ideas from the articles that my group read.

what will you do to right about next time?

Kindness is the key

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 ides and we wonted to do radish clan up but we had a back up plan and we could do radish clan up so we did random kindness cards.

Reflection:
For our final product our group gave out kindness cards to the people who did the right thing      How did our action build a sense of community in the school?We made people super happy!
I contributed by organising the kindness cards.
I think the PBL might impact on others by happiness.
What I learned about working with others was teamwork.
