Putting the Fun into Fund-Raising for Christchurch



Christchurch written in cans.

On Thursday our school held a " Water Day" to help raise funds for the Red Cross's Christchurch Earthquake appeal. Everyone paid $1.00 and contributed one tin of food as an entrance fee. For this activity our school raised $450 and donated 537 tins of food. Last week our mufti day raised close to $1,800 dollars for the Red Cross.

For a water day, there are hoses and big troughs of water on the field and the students fill up water pistols or squirty bottles and throw water at each other.

This time, we had a zoom slide. Mrs Whitehead brought a big piece of black polythene and everyone ran up to it then slid along it. We used a garden sprinkler hose and lots of detergent to keep it slippery.
