Cleaning Up Our Community by Jorjah

Dear Mrs Maihi

Kia Orana and how are you.  We would like to share something with you. Our class (B11) would like to do something for our community.  We got this idea from our “Topic Study” for Term 1 about “Community Service”.

We were thinking about collecting cans of food and giving it out to our nearest community which is Clendon.  We would like to give it out to those people who may be in need.

Our plan is that B11 will bring in some cans of food or packets of rice and arrange a trip to Clendon and hand the food out to the people.

We really like this idea because B11 did a chart and brainstormed some ideas about what we could do to help our community. Guess what? the most popular idea was to collect cans of food and the second most popular idea was picking up rubbish in our community.

We are thinking about travelling to the beach on our school bus and pick up bottles, plastic, and rubbish to make our community beach look clean and tidy.  We have more ideas but these two are the most popular ideas from our class survey.

All of these idea ties in with what we have been learning in Maths which something called the PPDAC cycle for Statistics.  We called ourselves the “data detectives”.  The PPDAC cycle is about having a problem, plan, data, analyse and conclusion.  

The poster is also our data for this week and B11 has worked hard to present something to you.  We hope that you will agree with our ideas of helping our community.

Thank you
Jorjah and Dendae (B11)
