PBL Evaluation

This is my evaluation for PBL

We did a water safety afternoon for the year 6's at Hornby Primary.

It was very successful, they enjoyed capture the flag and the relays at the start. They also really enjoyed the pool activities. Their favourite pool activity was the golf ball where the kids had to dive in the water and get as many golf balls as possible.

We achieved our goals by making it a fun afternoon for the kids. Also we taught them how to be safe around pools and beaches. We worked together as a team to finish the action plans

We asked them some questions about water safety that the kids had to answer. We talked briefly about how to be safe in and around pools and beaches, which gave them some new knowledge about water safety. We also did activities that involved team work and by the end of the day they were working much better together.

 I think it went quite well but next time find some more activities to do with water safety.

Creating the list on my Chromebook

On the 22-24 of November, we created a detailed list and timetable of the activity afternoon we are running. There will be two groups of 20 students, and myself and Jamie will be running one, and Crystal and Claudia will be running the other one. Group one will switch from the pool to the field after lunch, and group two will switch from the field to the pool.

We emailed Hornby Primary and got no reply, so we rang them and organised a meeting with the principal. The meeting went well, and we talked about possible dates, and numbers of students. We now have permission to run the event.

Describe the issue

Water safety is a big issue as not many young people have any skills. So many drownings occur every year because no one knows how to act in bad situations in water.

Who is affected?
In the first half of 2017, there were 47 drownings in New Zealand. 10% of those were kids under 5, 18% was 15-24 year olds, and 71% was 25+. 84% were males. Males above 25 years have been involved in the most drownings.

What are the issues?
Because young and old these days don’t have enough water safety knowledge, drownings are becoming more and more common. People are going out to the beach, rivers, and swimming pools with no safety knowledge, and are being put in situations that they don’t know how to handle.

When and how did this start?
Drowning has always been a huge problem in New Zealand, and we have a higher drowning rate here than Australia, the U.S, and the UK. This years drowning toll (as of Nov. 13) is at 59, in 2016 there were 108, in 2015 there were 113, in 2014 there were 71, and in 2013 there were 107. It doesn’t seem the problem is improving, and it may get worse as the years go on.

Where is it happening?
All over the world drowning has become a huge problem. New Zealand has quite a high rate, as we are an island. The most common places drownings occur are in rivers, beaches, swimming pools, and water holes. The top of the North Island is most susceptible to drownings. The South Island had barely any in the past few years, while the North Island had many.

Why is it happening?
Drownings are becoming more and more frequent because people young and old have no water safety knowledge. While young people occasionally have water safety lessons, they usually cost a bit of money, when they should be part of the school curriculum. Many adults think it isn’t important to know how to swim, so they put it off until it’s too late.

Our plan:

Plan and execute a fun water safety afternoon for the year 5 and 6's at Hornby Primary.

Our impact:

We are teaching young people some skills so they can share them around and use them in the real world.

Seel Paragraph

A pull factor is something that draws you to a place or country.

NZ is a safe country at the bottom of the pacific ocean, it is great and isolated from a lot of countries

Good pull factors of NZ is lots of land to build, great sports, safe environment, and a lot of jobs

NZ has a lot of awesome things and so people want to go live there

Why do the british wanna leave Britain?

The British wanted to leave England because of all the push factors. Such as horrible working environments, underfed kids, overworked parents, no running water, just disgusting conditions that people didn’t want to live in. But people just needed the money that's why they stayed to try provide for their family. The british wanted to leave because of the bad environments and working conditions
