Today room 1 & 2 did a kiwi for kiwi morning tea. This is a fundraiser for an organisation called kiwi for kiwi. All the profits that we made at this morning tea go to the kiwi foundation so they can: put up traps for pests like Possums, stoats, rats and hedgehogs. Also to incubate the kiwi eggs to that we can increase the population. Did you know that only 1 kiwi in every 10 eggs survive?
The Kiwi for kiwi morning tea is a competition and the first prize is a visit from the one and only......... BUG MAN! There is also second and third prizes but we are going for the first prize.
Yesterday each person in room 1 & 2 baked something yummy like: cookies, cupcake, lollies and cake and then brought it in to school today. Then in the morning we make posters, popcorn and set all the yummy food out on wooden tables in front of of room 1-6. There was 1 year 3-4 table, 2 year 1-2 tables and 1 year 5-6 table. When the morning tea bell went 4 children from room 1 and 2 went behind each stall to collect the money. All the food was 50 cents each.
After morning tea we all put a slip of paper with our name and our guess of how much money we made in an ice cream box. I guessed $443.20. Then some children counted all the money and we got to a total of exactly $600.10. Amazing right?
I hope that we have raised enough money to help at least 1 kiwi and maybe even get a visit from the BUG MAN!
