Showing compassion for children in Australia
Today our school is having a special mufti day to help raise money for the children in Australia who have lost everything in the terrible fires.
Our class of 11 children has raised $30.10. We will put all our money together with the other classes and send it to the Red Cross.
Thank you all for being so generous. At lunch time we are going to put all the money on the word Australia and a reporter from the "Sun" newspaper will take a photo. We are challenging all schools to do something as well. Watch out for next weeks paper.
Emily's Dad is a Rural Fire fighter and he is going to Australia soon to help fight the fires. He has to stay here at the moment because it is so dry that we could have a fire here too!
When all the money was counted, our school had contributed $500. Thanks everyone.
