I’m writing to tell you what we've been doing in the unit of "How We Organize Ourselves" for the past two weeks in our community group.
==My group is the touch rugby group, where we are planning to make an after school activity for younger students to improve their physical fitness levels. The people who are also in the group are, Louis and Kevin. We have made our rules, goals, and mission statement on our wiki.==

Dear Ms. Cook,
==I am going to inform you about my community in the unit of inquiry “How We Organize Ourselves.” Our central idea is “Individuals and communities work together to meet their goals and enrich their community through meaningful action.” The community members are Louis, Noah, and I. We have decided to established a rugby community after a long conversation and a hard think. I am very excited about teaching fitness and touch rugby skills to students in lower grades because we have never taught students before!==

==I decided to be part of this community because I wanted to contribute to a sports club. We want to teach students in lower primary (K5 to Grade 3) fitness (for example, health) because we wanted to improve their rugby skills though physical education. One of us even goes to rugby training (Louis) so we even have experts in rugby and fitness. Louis, Noah and I will teach them after we have a trial session to see what happens with our buddies in Grade One. We would like to ask you if you could let us use the basketball court to do this activity. Or could you suggest an alternative location we could use? By the way, can you kindly let us use some equipment like, five size three rugby balls or, if you don’t have any, five foam balls would be good. Also, we need about twenty cones.==

Our goal is to prepare these students so we can culminate these lessons with a mini Rugby World Cup. I can’t wait to start this sports club with my club members!
==Our group is still developing this community. We are working on our wikis. We’ve produced a home page, mission statement, rules, goals, letters, group members and responsibilities, lesson plans, a logo, membership cards and a taking action page. Louis, Noah, and I have to follow these rules and the mission statement in order to make the community successful and worthwhile.==

==Thank you for reading this letter. If you are interested in letting us use the court, you can email me back through my First Class email. We really appreciate your cooperation and again, thank you for spending some time reading this letter.==

Dear Mr. Thomas and Stacey,
==I have taken this opportunity to write to you about what’s going on in my community group, I have made with my friends from grade five. My friends and I all think it’s an exciting project. We can’t wait to start!==

==As you should know, our unit is "How We Organise Ourselves". As a group, we have decided to teach rugby fitness to younger students in our school. We decided to form a rugby fitness group because we all like physical education. Also, I do rugby three times a week outside of school. In my community there is Noah, Kevin and me. Our aim is to finish with a mini rugby world cup tournament.==

==We still haven’t started, but we think it’s going to be a blast. We have started our wikis though, with our home page, mission statement, goals, and rules. This group has to follow these rules to succeed our goals.==
