Last days of NPDL

 This week has been the last week of  NPDL. We have been finishing our project and putting all together. This is the last few days of the project and we are getting ready to present to the community.  We have been painting and assembling all of the information onto the science board we are putting our project on. 

We are interested to see how the presenting goes and how people will react/ if they will we interested in our project. 

Presenting

 Yesterday we presented our final project for NPDL. We had to set them all up in the hall than the community/ parents came to look. Overall people were looking at our project and I think finding it informative.  

Our group is happy with how our project turned out and how we completed it. I think this project gave me a insight to a different side of learning and made us change the way we think. Below is a image of our final project.

NPDL

This term the year 10s at Otaki College are working on a project. We are focusing on electricity and how we could change it for the better in our community, or school, or for our houses. My group consists of  Me, Jeana, Jess, Eunacee, Summer and Winter.  We decided to focus our project on our school with our question being: How sustainable for our college are heat pumps instead of radiators?

So far we have done one week of the project and have already completed tasks like;  making all the resources, setting a plan, setting up interviews, creating questions and interviewing an electrician. Below are some questions we were asked to answer about the project so far. 

How effectively have you used your time this week?

I think my group have worked reasonably well this week and achieved what we have needed to.

How have you contributed to your group’s progress?

I have helped come up with questions for interviews and contributed to the planning/ organising of the tasks and order we have to accomplish them.

Glows: something that is going well in your project:

I think we are starting to work better as a team and contributing to the project. 

Grows: Something you need to work on:

Making sure that we share the work equally and keep working well as a group. 

Where could you get help with this? 

From listening to each other.

What are the next steps for your project?

We have a couple more people to interview, than we will start to assemble all of the information onto a slideshow before making our final presentation.

Overall So far our project is going well and has been productive, I am interested to see how it turns out!
