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 Holidays like Christmas, Easter and Halloween. And it's also about dance and food.

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 maui and the sun and maui and the big fish in reading time.
I wrote the legend of how the parrot got his colours.

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
I contributed by dancing and doing the poi.
I think the show might impact on others by teaching them about how we can share stories in a fun way.
What I learned about working with others is that if we work together we can make a really cool dance.
