Kia ora, last Friday house of bricks Lego came to our school for the years 5-8 to do 3 rotations to work on our grit and perseverance for our PBL. What does perseverance mean? perseverance means keep pushing even when you think you are not good enough you just have to have some grit and determination. for the 3 rotations we did the following, building a car, a tower, and doing a mosaic and pass the brick read my writing to understand more about the rotations.
My favourite Lego activity was the mosaic up in Tumu because I loved being able to work by myself and use my own ideas for my own work, I also loved being able to use my imagination to create a piece of art.
My least favourite Lego activity was passing the bricks because it was hard seeing my house that I worked on turn into something completely different to what I had in mind.
The activity that tested my perseverance the most was building the cars because I had to figure out what was going to be the best and fastest way to build a car that would stay together and go the longest.
The most challenging activity was building the tower because it was hard having only 10 ish minutes to complete a very tall tower that would win the competition.
I enjoyed working collaboratively with others because I liked having more than 1 brain to figure out a smart way to build the Lego. I also liked being able to share my ideas with others to help them out.
Do you show perseverance?
Kia ora, this week we watched a short movie about a girl and her mum donating some toys to an orphanage but then all of a sudden the girls yellow umbrella was gone, this is a story about showing empathy. Empathy is all about putting yourself in someone else shoes. Down below is my story.
Early one gloomy morning as the sun rose, the old wooden creaky door to Miss Elem’s Home For Children slowly swung open. The young miserable girl with the eye-catching popping yellow umbrella anxiously tiptoed into the orphanage before finding a great safe place for her umbrella. Staring at the yellow umbrella not wanting to be seen, Boris quickly swung his head back around the door frame so that he was out of anyone's view. Standing off to the side, the girl observed the exciting scene as the children peered into the box for fabulous hidden treasures. The girl smiled as she watched the little boy zooming around the room like a race car at full speed. Her Smile straight away faded as she looked back at the umbrella stand and all she saw were wet sloppy puddles, her beloved umbrella had vanished into thin air.
Do you show empathy in your life?
