PJ movie party

Today we were fundraising for Barnados through the Aurora Leadership in Action programme.  Isla and Max organised a fantastic morning with popcorn, lollies and a movie in our Pyjamas. 

June is the month for Jammies and that is why we chose to wear our PJ's and bring our snugglies.

We made approximately $400 to this worthy cause!  

Thanks Everyone! 

Lunchtime Disco a great hit!

The grand finale to our Planet Sunshine fundraiser was a huge success today!  Makaraka School Community is a fantastic supportive bunch and we have really outdone ourselves.  

Here is the rundown of the fundraising: 

Pyjama Movie:  $435.90

Wow the sick children of Gisborne are going to really benefit from this and Georgia and Tom are truely proud to be taking this giant cheque with them next week to their Aurora meeting.  

I wonder who will win the guess the lollies competition?

Bake Sale for Planet Sunshine!

We had our second fundraiser on Thursday last week - a delicious bake sale!  Tawhirimatea out did themselves and baked up a storm!  

There were some delicious items such as fudge and lolly cake.  We also had popcorn and many types of slices and cakes!  Well done to the whole school who supported this worthy cause and bought some money for their morning tea!  We made over $300.  Makaraka School is awesome!  

Don't forget our finale FUNdraiser this Thursday - a lunchtime disco!  Lots of glow products for sale as well as drinks and lollies.  

$2 entry fee. 

Let's help Planet Sunshine!

We started our fundraising with a whole school Pyjama Day!  We had to dress in PJ's because that's what kids in hospital have to wear all day!

We had a great time making the most giant tub of popcorn thanks to Mrs Alan's water trough!  We also put the lollies out and then we were ready for the rest of the school!

The tub of popcorn was gone before half way through the movie! We were all so amazed at the huge tub!  Some people exclaimed that they had never seen so much popcorn!








We were really relaxed and enjoyed watching "The Secret Life of Pets".  It was really funny!







What an enjoyable fundraiser!  We raised over $400 for Planet Sunshine!  We can't wait till the next fundraiser on Thursday the 16th - A bake sale!  Yum!!!!

Thanks Makaraka!
