Timeline
Our World Day at HCC
One World’ Cross Curricular Day - Year 7This 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.
