CIP Letter Writing

Today in CIP we had to write a letter to someone that we are grateful for or want to thank. I chose to write a letter to one of my teachers who is always helping me out in maths when I get really confused with Fractions. She has also helped me have a positive mindset toward math and helped with my self-confidence.

KidsCan

Today in CIP I created a DLO about KidsCan which is what this mufti day is fundraising for. In this DLO I had to include what KidsCan is and what they do. Also to show how you can help by donating at the website on the slide.


                       

RADICAL RAINBOW MUFTI DAY!

Today for our CIP lesson we have been planning a mufti day for the whole school to fundraise for 

kidsCan. We started off with planning the theme for the mufti day so we got into small groups and started brainstorming. We then voted for the theme that we thought was the best. We decided that the theme was going to be "Radical Rainbow," this meant it will give people some options on what they could wear. After deciding on our theme we started creating posters and DLO's to put up around the school to let people know the date and a few other details of the mufti day. I decided to create a Colorful eye-catching DLO to put up on the TVs around the learning commons while other people created fun colorful posters to put in windows of the classrooms around the school.

                      

It's Cool To Be Kind

Today for CIP I joined a different group called It's Cool To Be Kind. Today we created a cartoon to show kindness. I decided to draw mine on paper rather than do it on a Chromebook because i could put more detail into it.

Tanē Mahuta

Today for CIP me and three other students and Mark went around and looked at all the trees that had seeds.We then made our way to the back of the field so that we could look at the area that we are going to hopefully be planting lots of native trees to try and bring back the native birds.When we got back we wrote letters to someone called Steve Bush Asking him for 100 seedlings so that everyone doing this will have a plant to plant.Here is some photos of what we did and the letter.

Dear Mr Bush

Hi there, My name is Lucy i am currently a year 8 at Hornby High School.

Currently we have been working on a project called Tanē Mahuta. Our mission is to plant native  trees in the back of our field at school to hopefully bring back native birds that once lived here.

Today we went out and looked at all the seeds of the few trees we have here. We learnt about how they form into trees, how they spread and the different types of seeds.

We would like to ask you for one hundred seedlings so everyone involved in the Tanē Mahuta project can take part in planting the plants. We would also like to ask you for one trailor of used potting mix so that we can help grow the plants and use it to create more seeds and work towards our main goal.

Thank you for your consideration we can’t wait to hear back from you.

This is a photo of us at the area we are looking at planting the seedlings.

Sincerely

Lucy

Tane Mahuta

Today we started CIP (Community Impact Projects)everyone got split into two main groups and i am in the group Tane Mahuta.Our job is to Clean and look after the school. Today we walked around areas of the school and got ideas of what we could do to make the place better for people to sit and play around in. My favourite area in the school is at the back of the field because because is quieter and there is a great place where you can sit in the shade if it gets to hot. After we walked around the school we came back and brainstorm some ideas of what we could create.My best idea is to improve the school is to create more fun seating areas and create more shady areas.
