The day it was
What and amazing day! It was totally worth getting up at 6:00am to get to school by 7:20am. We set up our store and products. We had a black board at the front of our stall with all the prices on it.
Here come the preps! They were so cute! They marched in proud with there little hands clasping there precious $15. We soon found that we were putting out more items. After the preps came it was the year 1s turn.
We got breaks to spend our $15. There was always another person looking after the stall though. We had Bath bombs, Pencil holders, Leather key rings, Leather book marks and a Nerf-gun game. In our group we raised $370.10c! And the whole of year 5 raised…………….. $6008.60c! All the money we raise goes to the JMB Foundation. Check out there website at https://jmbfoundation.org.au/. See you in my next post!

All about the day!
My favourite part of the festival was running an activity with my crazy friends. We did colouring in and a word search. So many kids came and did it. I had a wander around the colouring space and all I saw was smiling faces and kids having a great time with their buddies. Outside our junior school are some of the amazing colouring in pages people gave to us. I didn’t see one person with a frown.
Something that I learnt from Mark Wilson is the real concerns of animal wildlife extinction. I am thinking about doing Sea Shepherd as my community service in year 6.

He is so passionate about helping the wildlife. Most of his books are about Australian history (The Great Wars), and Australian wildlife. Here are some of his books:
Mark Wilson was amazing to listen to. He is so passionate about what he does. See you soon!
Have you ever had an author come and speak to you?
Wizz PoP! BTWs!
On the 11th of June 2019, we have our annual year 5 market! We sell products that we make and raise money for the JMB Foundation. (James Macready-Bryan.) In our group we have 5 people and we all pitch in to make different products. We are making bath bombs, pencil holders, leather book marks, leather key chains and we are also hosting a Nerf-gun Game.
We have been challenged to make print adds and digital adds. We need to persuade our audience to come to our stall in a few words and pictures. We are going to make a different poster for each product. We can only print 2 posters per group at school but we are allowed to print more at home. Below is one of our finished posters.
Write a comment if you think anything needs to be worked on, or if you think it persuaded you!
