Organising field trip letters:

Dear Mr. Taylor, We would like to take a field trip to Ocean Park, to interview the Water Management staff, like we discussed during our latest meeting. Would you be available to escort us there? We would be free to do this next Monday (the 20th between 8:30 and 1:05), next Wednesday (the 22nd between 10:05-11:05) and next Friday (the 24th between the same times as Monday) Timing is very important on Wednesday because we have an early release. We would be there for an hour plus the ride (roughly 45 minutes). Please let us know if you are available.

Sincerely,

The Water Conservation Team

Mr.Taylor's reply:

Morning Team Water Conservation, I think the interview is a great idea. First things you need to organise prior: - who is your contact person at Ocean Park?

- are they available?

- do you have your interview prepared/what questions/ how recording (by hand or video or ipod)/ who is asking the questions?

- what is it you are trying to achieve via the interview? I would like to see this as a first step and then I will make my time available, no matter what. Let me know

Michael Taylor

Director of Technology.

Dear Mr Taylor, We are so glad that you are our mentor and we’re looking forward to working with you. Our issue for Exhibition is water wastage and water safety. Our mission statement is to raise awareness of water wastage and water safety and raise money for The Water Project Charity by running a mini-marathon. Also, we are going to find a barrel so we can have the rain water drop into it and we will water the garden with this. We will keep in contact with you via email and meet with you regularly to discuss our progress. We feel very strongly about this problem and we hope you’ll feel the same way about it too. The ones that are not blacked out are the times available to have a meeting with you. What times would you be free? Sincerely, The Water wastage group ( Mia, Casey, Georgia, Agatha and Louis)

Dear all,

Team Water has just received an invitation to a meeting EVERY Tuesday, my office at 08.30. I have allocated 30 mins for the first meeting. Subsequent meetings may only require 15mins.

Please bring all relevant documentation and clarity about what we are going to discuss.

If team members cannot make the appointed time, I would expect a email prior to the meeting.

Thanks and see you all on Tuesday.

Michael Taylor Director of Technology

We have experimented with our action here is a letter to Mr.Dare to ask if we can do our action all around the school.

Dear Mr. Dare, We are the Water Conservation team. As part of our action for Exhibition we have been running a successful experiment in the third floor bathrooms to conserve water. We would like to have a meeting with you, so we can discuss our action and the possibility of extending it across the whole school. We would appreciate any time you could give to meet with us. Please contact us with any times you have available. Yours sincerely, The Water Conservation team

(Mia, Georgia, Casey, Agatha and Louis)
