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 country, food, language.
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 Hatupatu and the bird woman I have written my own legend called how the chicken got its crown.I retold the legend of Maui and the sun 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 organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

Reflection:
For our production I contributed by painting the blue on the second to last page.
I think the show might impact on others by making people want to watch and learn more about culture.
What I learned about working with others was you get the job done and in the end you are proud of yourself.
