Overall experience with pbl
Our group decided to work with the "special needs" and made many visits to Conductive Education (which is a special school for kids with mental and physical disabilities to give them the extra help that they need in throughout their early childhood. Our experience with pbl had constant messages with Conductive to see when we could go see them - following with the visit to conductive to find out what we could do to help out :), That visit resulted with us going back the following Tuesday and Thursday and we got to spend time with the kids and give the teachers a time out for a little period of time.
Our goals were to act in the community and help out where we could - Personally I think that was achieved as with the opportunity going to conductive and helping out with the kids we had the best experience and smiles and laughter we will surely never forget.
Personally I think I tried to do things my way and I sort of took over with contacting everyone and organising how what when why who with going to and from conductive. This is experience will truely never be forgotten as it gave not just me but also the boys a big insight to all kids aren't like your average sibling or cousin. The kids are still exactly the same but just with a different way of learning.
If I was to do this again , I would stay with the same subject but I think I would allow more time to get our actions done so we can plan way more and have a way bigger impact on the community , helping out and making those people more happy would mean everything to me.

Conductive visit #3
Thursday 30th November
We had our second visit at Conductive Education and from my view it went alot better than Tuesday did. Thursday was more chilled out and we weren't exactly "assigned" to a child we just floated around helping wherever we could. It could include- Pushing kids on the swings , Reading to them , Playing with them inside and outside, Getting ready for lunch and much more.

Jack and I went out to the sensory garden in New Brighton. We went out there to help with the event running which was the sensory gardens 1st Birthday. Kelly- the founder and creator of SmileDial had done the sensory garden from scratch with planting each plant individually making sure it was all in place, With being the first birthday Kelly decided to host a "bubble party" and with the kids going they love the sensory things and bubbles were a big thing.

2nd Visit to Conductive Education- Putting our plans into action.
28th November -
We arrived to the building. And we get "assigned" to a child to sort of look after for the day. Spencer was paired with Tawhiri,, Jayden was with LA and Jack was with Lillie. I on the other hand was just floating around helping out wherever I could with each different child. We did a whole lot of different activities which included- reading stories, playing outside , playing inside doing some games and listening and dancing to music.We had lunch and morning tea which cleaning up afterwards and making the place spic and span again. Overall our day was really good and I feel like the boys did really well with communicating with the kids and making the effort to make them feel almost as if they were 'normal' but it was really good.
