Market Day Fundraiser

As I said the Year 6s at my school had a fundraiser on Monday for Year 6 camp at Stewart Island later in the year. The fundraiser was called Market Day. At Market Day the Year 6's would get into a small group and sell bakery, have raffles and competitions and things like that for the rest of thge school and other people who came along. I buddied up with a couple of mates and we had a stall called 'The Three Weirdos'. At that stall we sold popcorn, sherbet, lollie bugs, gingerbread men and gingerbread Easter bunnies. We also had a game of basketball shooting with a yummy prize at the end. Some of these items were a sell out and some weren't. We were also going to have Ten Pin Bowling but it turned out to windy. In the end all the Year 6's raised $1730 together. This was the second highest score in history of Market Day and it would have one if the won that bet it did'nt have a second fundraiser which would have earned them $300. Altogether it was a great day. If you would like to see the post before Market Day you would find it under Market Day on the 'Labels'.

Wiki

Hi I'd like to tell you about a wiki. You will probably not know what a wiki is so I'll tell you. A wiki is a thing where you can share some things about you with another person even if they are on the other side of the world. Our class is doing one with our epals from Green Bay, USA. A few people and I are in charge of the topic of 'our communities'. To share this with our epals we will have to have a tour around our community and take some photos and videos. We could then upload them and put them on a keynote(a bit like Powerpoint) and make a slideshow and then upload it onto the wiki.

Epals

Hi, a few weeks ago our teacher set up epals for our class. They come from Green Bay, USA. The epals website contains fun activities. Oops I just thought you might not know what epals are. They are like penpals but you contact them on the computer by emailing them. If you want to find out some more you could ask me your question by posting a comment(and hopefully I'll know the answer to your question). You could also check out the epals website at www.epals.com

Market Day

Next week the Year 6's are having a fundraiser called Market Day. We have it every year to fundraise for the Year 6 camp at Stewart Island. I am on a stall called 'The Three Weirdos' with my mates Tim and Robbie. We will be selling things like popcorn, lollies and sherbet and other goodies. We are also having a couple of activities of Basketball Shooting and Ten Pin Bowling with some great goodies for prizes. I will show you the results soon.

Let's make some money!

Point Blanc

I am now going to tell you about a book called Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz.


Fourteen year old Alex Rider is trying to get back into normal life. But M16 has other plans for him. Sending Alex on a dangerous mission of checking out Point Blanc Academy to find out the truth. He doesn't have any guns or weapons like that just a false ID and a handful of fantastically disguised gadgets. Things seem wrong but can he tell anybody before it's too late? Just remember Alex you are never too young to die.
