Browick Road Morning

As a group, we were all supposed to go to Browick Road on the morning of 30th November, to do a Theatre in Education performance and a workshop on sharing with the year 2's but although most people attended, I did not attend due to the bad weather (snow). This makes it hard to write about and reflect on, so instead I decided to interview a fellow student who did attend the workshop and let it help me reflect on the morning.

Did you feel the day was well organised and ran smoothly?

I thought that it ran fairly smoothly, with a few hiccups. For example, a few people were absent on the day, which kinda messed things up a little.

Do you feel the children behaved well, and if not, how did this effect your performance and workshop?

In my group, there were 4 young boys who i felt were very violent, and talked alot while we were talking, which made it hard to cooperate with the children to our full potential.

Do you feel that the children enjoyed and benefitted from the morning?

Yes, i do feel that they did, for example one child said 'I do lots of donating at home' making the other children think and reflect on their own donating.

Did you get many donations? If yes/no, why?

No, in this sense the campaign was unsuccessful, because the children failed to bring in any old toys for us to donate to the charities.

Do you feel there was anything else you could of done to improve the morning at all?

Yes, if we had been more prepared and had more time to talk to the children, we could get stronger messages across.

LO3: Letter to charity shop

Dear Sir/Madam

                             

                              You may recall a couple of months ago, myself and several other year 10 students, visited your shop and proposed the idea that as part of our GCSES, we would be creating a campaign to help out your charity shop and increase the quality of donations charity shops in Wymondham receive as a whole.

I am writing this letter to you today, as I thought you may like to hear from us on how our campaign is going. Over the last few weeks, we have been putting up posters up around our school and sending emails to staff to raise awareness of our campaign, and have organized a drop off point for any donations students and staff feel will be helpful for our campaign and suitable for our charity shop.

Last week, we visited Browick Road First School, and did a performance for them, to make them aware of how much giving to charity can really help. We followed that with a workshop on sharing and donating to people less fortunate than us, how to donate, and what to give. They seemed really keen to donate their old toys and clothes to our local charity shops, especially to make room new presents at Christmas!

Currently, we have mainly been working on making people aware of charity shops and donating, and we are hoping that following this, people will start to bring donations to school, and aswell as all the new donations flooding through your doors, hopefully we will be able to bring you some too.

Yours faithfully,

Chloe Jackson
