KIDS HELPING KIDS
FLYING BOOTS
Hi my name is Sophie and I'm going to tell
you how my class 4R decided to help an organisation in need.
Everyone thought of ideas and we voted. We decided to raise
money for meningococcal. We all thought of an Activity and
we also voted and we came up with a Gumboot throw. Next we
decided to organize what day the Gumboot throw would be on,
next we decided the Gumboot throw was going to be at lunch
time one the oval on Friday the 12 th September 2003. Then
we worked out the grade levels and how many prizes we would
need. Next we decided all the Helpers we would need. Thomas
and Al collected the money and James and I wrote down how
many turns the people could have. We used hoops and cones.
We made poster and Mrs. Elshout put them up at lunch time.
The next day Mrs. Elshout made an announcement at Jump Rope
for Heart. When it was Friday at lunch time Jessica and Amelia
made an announcement over the loud speaker. Everybody or
nearly everybody ran to the oval with 10c, 20c, 30, 40c or
50cents. It was a BIG SUCCESS we ended up raising $22.30.
WOW! There was a big line of people, the helpers got dusty
hands and hit with a boot. Everybody had a go and tried to
do their best. Thank you to everyone who had a go and helped
raise money for meningococcal.

THE BIG SUCCESS
4r Decided to help an organisation first we
voted on what organisation we would help, so we put in our
ideas. The organisation we voted on was meningococcal. Then
we voted on the activity, so we put in our ideas. The activity
we voted on was the gumboot throw. We decided on the day
and time. We decided that the day was Friday 12 th September
and the time at lunchtime on the oval. The cost was 10cents
a throw. There were prizes for Grades Prep/1, 2/3, and 4's.
We had some helpers and I was one of them. We used cones,
poles, hoops and GUMBOOTS. 4R made posters to advertise and
Mrs. Elshout made an announcement at jump rope for heart
on Thursday and on Friday lunchtime. We go setup and started
and there was a long line of people. We had to watch for “flying
gumboots”. Most of us got dirty and Alex and James writing
hands got sore. Everyone tried their best and we helped meningococcal.
It worked out and we raised $22 and 30 cents.
