Hello! Room 14 here! We really care about Kiwis so we’re here to tell you all about what we’ve been doing about Kiwis.
We spent two weeks learning about what Kiwis eat, their habitat and lots more. Then with all the information that we collected, we drew a huge kiwi and put all the information inside it and as the outline. Then we dyed it brown. When we were learning about kiwis we watched a video of Graham Henry holding a kiwi. He said if everybody helped raise a bit of money we could meet the target of $100 000. Then we looked at what each donation would buy to help the kiwi. After that we decided to make a little bank in the classroom if anybody wanted to put money in it. Our teacher said that we shouldn’t just ask our mums and dads for money, we should wash the car, or do odd jobs to earn allowance and donate that. One girl said she was going to bake cookies to sell at dads work! If we just ask for the money it shows that we don’t really care. And now at the present we are busy making a collage picture of a kiwi. So far we’ve collected $40.00 to send to you, but more kids said they were doing chores on the long weekend to earn some more money to help. At the end of the week, our teacher is going to make a donation with all the money we collected.
