An Awfully BIG Adventure

Last week there was a play called An Awfully BIG Adventure. It was about World War 1. It was funny. It was amazing. It was awesome. It was by capital E. We all loved it. Tawa Intermediate school was the first school to see this play. The play was about how World War 1 affected peoples lives. Like I said, The play was funny but many people died in World War 1. What did people learn about it?

Darlingheart Bake Sale

A week or so ago we had a bake sale to raise money for a charity called "The Darlingheart Foundation".  It was an awesome event that raised money for children in an orphanage in India.

Did you buy anything?  What was your favourite baked good?

Do you think we should do another bake sale next term? Or is there another way we could raise money?
