World Autism Awareness Day

Multicoloured Mayhem Day

Yesterday was Autism Awareness Day throughout New Zealand. To help raise awareness and understanding Waikanae school took part in the Multicoloured Mayhem Day. Everybody was asked to wear multicoloured clothing, some people even coloured their hair to show their support. During lunchtime there was face painting and music on the court. 

Check out how colourful we were!!

Check out the video Room 17 made for World Autism Day!!!

Writing

Big Money

For our writing topic on Thursday we were given an interesting question. The question was... 

Pretend you were given $100, but you couldn't keep it! You have to give it to a person or charity. Who would you give it to and why?

Here are some of our very thoughtful ideas...

• If i had $100 i would give $50 to a poor person sot they can buy all the stuff they need. I would give the other $50 to a school that needs it. Caylee
• If i havd $100 and I had to give it away, I would give $50 to Huha and I would give $50 to the government to spread it to the people. Noah
• If I had $100 I would give $50 to the poor people they need it. I would give $50 to Waikanae School so they can buy more stuff. Caitlyn
• If I got $100 but I am not allowed to spend it...I would give $50 to the very sick people and the Zoo. Because the sick people can stay alive, and for the zoo to give to the zoo keeper to buy more animals. Natasha
• If I had $100 I would give $50 to the police, and the other $50 to my family. Why i would give it to my family is they're special to me. Corey
• I would give some to the council so they can build more train tracks and the freight trains need to go everywhere. I would give some to my mum so she can buy shopping. Edward
• If I had $100 I would give Huha $50 to buy food for the animals. I would give the other $50 to the Charity shop, so people can buy clothes. Zina
