Go without day

This term Room 3 are having 'go without day' every Friday.  Each Friday our parents sponsor us to go without something for the day.  We talk about what we could go without and then vote on the choices.  Work seems to come up A LOT when we are deciding.  They haven't convinced Ms Hogan yet!


We have been learning all about the Kiwi and how our national bird is endangered, so we have decided to use the money we raise to help save the Kiwi. It costs $75 to protect a kiwi from a roaming dog.  So when we have raised this much we will donate it to 'Kiwis for Kiwi' who do a fantastic job to help save our Kiwi.

"Dogs are the number one threat to adult kiwi, and a roaming dog can virtually wipe out a population in a short period of time. This donation supports our kiwi avoidance programme with dogs which includes educating owners and training the dogs."

Week 1 - we went without chairs and did all of our work on the floor.
 (Mr Maindonald even made Ms Hogan sit on the floor in the staffroom)  
$6.50

Week 2 - we went without tables, which was even harder!
$7.20  

Week 3 - we turned off the lights and worked in the dark today. 
$12.50 wow!
