ICE CREAMS FUNDRAISING







Room 5 has had a lot of fun over two days making ice creams for sale across the school. Demand was so great on the first day, we had to leave some classes until the next day so we could restock our ice cream. We made over 150 ice creams and after paying our expenses, made a healthy profit of $192.60, a FANTASTIC effort! The class demonstrated wonderful organisational skills throughout, co-operated well with each other, were involved in the finance aspects working out the expenses and profit, volunteered willingly for deliveries to classrooms, and we got to taste the product with a few extra sauces and marshmallows added in. Great learning with a great taste!

Red Nose Day 2012



 
Red Nose Day in 2012 was Room 5's Service Learning project for CURE KIDS. We raised $471.10 and had our total featured on TV3's Red Nose Day programme, but unfortunately, we didn't win the 4 return trips to London. To raise our total, we baked and sold cup cakes, made Churros for sale, held a Cake raffle, held a "Guess the Minties" in the jar competition, and ran quizzes. We were grateful to our parents who donated the prizes of movie passes, and baked the cake for the raffle. We also sold red noses, wrist bands, car noses and 3D bookmarks. Well done Room 5!
