Well done to everyone for running a very successful sale to purchase a hamster. The target was to raise 2,000 HKD to afford to look a. We raised a total of 3,500 HKD with more money still to come in from IOU's and another sale next week to sell left over stock.

You can read the student reflections on their blogs. Here is a blog post from Jocelyn about the sale.

Today 5AB had a second-hand sale to raise money for a class pet hamster. It took months to do research, finally it is happening! Our sale was outside our door and many people came to it!

Our goal was to raise 2000 HK$. We had many things to sell; books, toys, games, etc.. We priced them and put them on tables outside. Classes and teachers started coming and buying. It reminded me of when I was on a cruise and there was a big sale. Almost everyone on the ship was there and we were very squished!

Sometimes the sale was really busy! I was the money person and it was hard because everyone was handing me money and I didn't know what to do with it!

In the end we raised 3,500 HK$. Even though we reached our goal we still have a lot of things left over. We are thinking of having another sale again next week! 

Thanks to the library, parents, students and teachers for making all of this possible!

Second Hand Sale 03/03/2011
 
Many thanks for all of the donations for the second hand sale tomorrow. We have over 200 books, not to mention, games, teddies and much, much more. Students will be in the classroom as soon as they are off the buses to set up our shop outside the classroom. There is a buzz about the school and our buddies had lots of questions for us today about how we will look after the hamster. Our buddies will be the first visitors in the morning, followed, we hope, by a steady stream of customers to buy our items.

World Spelling Day still continues today. Jocelyn is top of the school leader board with 1,340 points, but there is still many hours to go! 5AB has over 4,000 points, but to even get on the leader board we need 8,000 and at the moment and the top placed class has over 21,000!! Wow! Good luck to everyone who has a go tonight!

We spent time today organising our second hand sale which will take place THIS FRIDAY. All proceeds will go towards our new class pet. The sale will take place outside of 5AB from 8:45 until 9:45. Posters have been placed around school, an email sent to the elementary classes and a large money thermometer has been made ot help us keep track of our progress. Many thanks to all of the parents who have allowed old belongings to be brought into school.
