Some things work better when you do them with lots and lots of people- Mexican waves, football matches, parties.

You could try a communal story. Take a piece of paper. Write 'Once there was' at the top. Add three words and pass it onto someone new. The more people you get involved, the better the story gets. Alternatively see how many people you can fit in a Mini. We personally have seen 12.

    INVOLVE EVERYONE PLEASE!!!!!

    In primary school everyone was my friend and eveyone was involved apart from one person. He was always on his own until i thought to myself why is everyone involved apart from him. So I invited to our game of tig and it turned out he was the best and from that day forth all my mates have involved everyone even if they are not their friend. 10 March 2010, 10:22

    this is a must

    im very good at making sure no one feels left out...when bringing up a subject i make sure i bring up a topic that evryone can relate to such as nagging parents everyone can relate to that, and if im sitting in the middle and talking, i sit facing frontwards not turning my back to anyone because that looks like dont want to talk to them. 01 February 2010, 23:05

    Start a creative blog

    I started a blog in Sweden called "365 things you can do" and after a couple of weeks lots of people started their own blogs. They wrote about all the stuff that you can do in their hometowns, created flash mobs, made gerilla knitting and so on. 11 January 2010, 23:00

    Our World Day at HCC

    One World’ Cross Curricular Day - Year 7

    This exciting and informative cross curricular day began in the theatre with a film called Pay it Forward, which deals with the theme of goodwill and shows how one small positive individual action can change the world for the better.
    Using themes from this film as a springboard, we spent the next three hours with different activities. We each cut out our own cardboard brick. On this brick, we wrote down an idea that would help change the world. Collectively, we made a brilliant ‘Wall of Change’ showcasing changes we’d like to make ourselves.

    Following this, we discussed ideas in groups about how we could make a difference during tutor time, on the VLE and on the ‘We are what we do’ website. We all signed up to some of the important websites for this year, such as www.samlearning.com, www.hamptonlearning.com and the HCC VLE’s Discussion Zone for year 7. Three groups went on to present ideas to a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style panel (Mr Molin, Miss Stanbridge and Mrs Dyett)
    Some of our ideas included:
    • A club after school where students prepare for the ‘We are what we do’ website
    • Making the school website more colourful and efficient with chat rooms
    • Fun tutor activities and competitions
    • ‘Kindness cards’ given out to peers who are nice
    • Creating a fact file on a fellow year 7 student we hadn’t spoken to before
    • Recycling bins in the corridors and canteen
    • A “Kindness group” to monitor kindness within year 7.


    We also had the opportunity to wrap presents for elderly people in the local community and for those in poorer countries around the world. This was fun and challenging because we had to cover the inside and the outside of the boxes. Some of us also wrote Christmas wishes to a Colombian school.

    Lastly, we put some of our ideas about taking care of the environment into practice by litter picking in the local area.
    Overall, we had lots of fun thinking of ‘One world’ and the changes we can each make in little steps.

    Join the VLE

    Make sure you log onto the VLE, which is important not just for homework, but to express your own views and to contribute to the life of the school. Make sure you get the login from your tutor.

    There is a forum set up to discuss what should go into the year 7 section- any ideas are very welcome.     13 November 2009, 15:49
