 * Homework Week 6 Term 2 2013**


 * Firstly, well done to everyone who took part in the 40 hour famine and raised sponsorship to help kids living in poverty in Papua New Guinea. That's really kind of you.** The key thing is to do your best raise as much money as you can. Remember, you don't have to raise the most money, the aim is to do your best to raise as much as you can. When you do that you demonstrate many of the IB learner attributes-Caring, Principled, Balanced, Reflective and many more.

Also, it's not too late to raise more money. You can still do that after the famine weekend is over. Jessie has just told me that she's going to visit her neighbours this week to get sponsorship from them. Every little bit counts!!

If we're the year 8 class that raises the most money, Mr Stevenson said we will win a free pizza lunch! Also from me, we will have an extra sports session and watch a DVD as a class. So let's go hard out to be the winning class because what that really means is many kids will be helped because of us and the money that we've raised!
