Raising Funds for World Vision

On Friday the 20th May Room 1 raised money for the World Vision Famine Appeal. Each child brought money to donate. We cooked rice for morning tea and at lunchtime Shkuru , Hamish's Mum, came and cooked pilau for our lunch. Pilau is a dish they cook in Africa for special occasions. She fried rice, onion, garlic and spices and then added water. It was yummy.
Shkuru comes Tanzania. She told us that she was lucky as she only had to walk 10km to school each day. Some children had to walk 20km, they ran all of the way. They would stop at the river and drink the water. They didn't take lunch to school but sometimes they took beans or seeds. She has just been back to the school -they have 900 children in six classes. The children sit on the floor. Hamish and his family raised money to buy them books and pens. We felt very lucky to have enough food, water and good schooling!
Our class raised $583 for World Vision.

Beautifying Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust Nursery at Company Bay

On Wednesday the 19th of May Room 1 went to the Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust Nursery to paint wildlife images on the buildings.
First we designed our pictures, they were mainly of Yellow Eyed Penguins, albatrosses and some seals.
Next one of the Nursery volunteers, the two managers of the Nursery and the ranger
painted hills,sand,rocks,sky and sea.
After that it was time for the painting at the Nursery. First we did an outline in chalk, then we had morning tea, now it was time to put on the paint. We spent almost two and a half hours painting!
When we had finished it looked brilliant! The Nursery workers really liked the way it turned out.
We had so much fun!
