Onesie day at School

As part of our Inquiry topic, we wanted to give something back to our community. We decided that we would like to raise some money for The Wellington Free Ambulance service. They are one of our very important community helpers and their service is still free for everybody in the Wellington area.
We organised a onesie/pyjama day at school and everyone brought a gold coin to school. We raised over $500 on Friday. Yay!!!
Here we are in our pyjamas and by the big photo of an ambulance. We stuck all the coins onto this and then we will present it to our paramedic Alesha who came to visit us at school.

Ole Soccer
