We looked at how we could learn from our own heroes in our lives and amazing people within our local community. We interviewed people and learned all about what made us ‘heroes’ in our modern world. We collected our very own ‘patches’ by completing various activities that involved self-reflection, meeting, and helping others within the local area.
Teacher’s Reflections
“I found this project one of the trickiest I have done since we began PBL. There was some great moments, including the interviewing skills and learning about their community, however at times it did feel like there was a bit of a stretch on what we could do to meet the curriculum targets alongside deliverables. The pupils seemed to enjoy it and have come away with great understanding around what it takes to be a ‘hero’ in many areas in life, and the traits they need in each sector.”

Students’ Reflections
“It was amazing because I got to make my own superhero comic all about me tidying up Roxbourne Park. I liked interviewing my Dad because he is smart and clever and he is my hero” – Yoni
“I learned that it is okay to make mistakes because everyone does. You have to start with the prototype and not the final product and overtime you make changes.” – Efe
“I liked that the exhibition was good because lots of people came and gave nice feedback, they told me I worked really hard. I really liked showing people my superhero badges and my moodboard. I liked that the moodboard was like a real-life Seesaw.” – AF
