PBL Checkpoint 11

Checkpoint 11

We choose water safety as our topic. We went to Hornby Primary school and run activities, these activities were Relays, Capture the flag, Atomic Whirlpool, Water Relays, Find the Golf balls. I feel it was successful, the kids there enjoyed these activities, they had fun and learned new things. They kids seemed to know a good amount about safety when we asked them questions, they were able to answer our five questions confidently.

I feel we achieved our goal in teaching these kids about water safety, they listened well and did what they needed to for each activity without complaint.

The thing I feel I helped most with was talking about the problems that may come when teaching these kids, saying things that may help and trying to think of better ways of doing something in an activity. I am pretty sure the kids were comfortable around me, they were able to talk freely and ask for help if needed, I cheered them on during their activities which I feel helped them try and do their best.

I would probably add more activities for the pool that can give a better learning experience and have a proper number of students joining us. I would also figure out a better time schedule so we aren't behind or ahead of schedule, with more activities it would be better for time.

PBL Big Action

Our Big Action
Water Safety Afternoon at HPS



On Thursday the 30th of November from 1pm to 2:30pm, we ran a water safety afternoon at Hornby Primary School with 23 of their year 6's. Originally we were supposed to have 40 students and so we were going to have 2 groups, but we had to wing it and have only one group. For the first part we did some relays and played capture the flag on the field, and for the second part we did some games and skills in the pool. Overall the kids really enjoyed it, and had a better understanding of water safety.
