Battle of the mountains.

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 where you ,come from, What traditions you celebrate and traditional foods.

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 Battle of the mountains I retold the story 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.

For our production I contributed by helping with the music by beating on the bongo drums.

I think the show might impact on others by Telling them a little bit about the story.

What I learned about working with others was they don’t always do what you want to do.
