Guess the number of lollies in the jar

Room 8 have decided to complete a few projects as a class to raise money for Caritas this Lent.  The first one is to "Guess the number of lollies in the jar".

The idea as decided by the class is that from Monday 3rd of March the Lolly Jar will be in Room 8 on Mrs McDowell's desk.

For 50c anyone in Room 8, their brothers and sisters and any of their friends can come to Room 8 and have a guess at the number of lollies.  The jar will not be moved from Room 8 and we will not be asking the whole school to help us.

The lollies in the jar have been donated.  Mrs McDowell will collect the money and will also announce the winner on Friday 14th March after assembly in Room 8.  If the winner is not one of our class we will take the lolly jar to them.

Welcome to 2014

We have all settled in well and are working well.

We are learning a lot about the Solomon Islands  - this is the Caritas project for New Zealand schools this year.  The aim is that our purple classroom Caritas box will be full of donations by Easter.  We will then send it to Caritas in Auckland and they will use the money to help a school or village in the Solomons.
