Mufti day

As part of our inquiry topic the children have been learning all about Communities. Throughout this topic they decided that they wanted to give back to Communities of their choice. 

So, off set a group of 4 girls to Mr Bremer's office and they asked for a mufti day. Another group emailed the SPCA and asked if they could volunteer. Unfortunately, you have to be over 16 years old to do this so instead the girls thought they would have a pet food collection. 

On Friday 1st May, these events took place. Wow! What a great day it was too. 

The children in Room 8 have raised $510.00 from mufti day and have 2 boxes full of pet food for the SPCA. 

The children want this money to be spent on a school in Vanuatu so we have a catalog and are going to work out what we can buy for a school. We are looking at things like rubbers, books and pencils. Office Max have also got on board and are donating to us dictionaries and atlas.

A parent from a year 5 child has offered to transport any school supplies we purchase to Vanuatu in 2 weeks for us and take photos. This will be fantastic as the children will see where exactly their contribution ends up..
