PBL

Callum, Xing and I are in the group ‘Pizza Hut’. The topic we have chosen for our project is litter. This is a very big issue all around the world. We have noticed that in our parks around Hornby there is a lot of litter, even in places with bins just a meter away. The world is being polluted because of the amount of rubbish just lying around or getting blown into the oceans. We've done some research on several sites listed below. We have found out things such as:

  • 33% of litter is cigarettes.
  • The US spends 11.5 billion dollars each year on litter clean up. 
  • It's causing pollution.
  • It is harming wildlife and sea life.
  • It doesn't do any good for our environment.
Litter is a huge problem and we may not be able to help much but we would like to try to in the area we live in. We are thinking of going to a few parks in the Hornby area to go pick up rubbish we find on the ground. We would also like to put up some posters around our school to tell students not to think twice before putting their rubbish anywhere but the trash. We hope to provide awareness to people about what can happen when they drop even one piece of rubbish. We know we can't erase the problem but hopefully, we can make even a small difference in our neighbourhood.

Action plan #1 Putting posters on doors and walls 21,11,17

Paper Sissors and Tape enabled us to do this
we didnt have anything other than potentally not finding this to disable us to do it
we did this well


Action Plan #2


on the 28th of november, we went to kyle and Denton park to pick up rubbish, we noticed that we picked up quite a bit of rubbish two bags in fact.

 what enabled us to do this was permission and the equipment and luckily we had no disablers

Reflection: Our topic for PBL it was all about litter. We had 2 action plans, make posters and put them up  and go around the school, kyle park and denton park to pick up rubbish . We did the posters to create awareness to put rubbish in the bins. Everything went to plan as accorded, but we didn't have much as a big impact on the community as we thought. Things that enabled us were that access to materials like printer and tape to help us post the posters up and gloves and rubbish bags to help us pick up the rubbish. We hope we made some impact on the community even if its just one person putting their rubbish in the bins. I feel like we didn't spend our time properly and thats why we could have done better for next time.
