A VERY SUCCESSFUL MISSION FAIR -HERE'S HOW WE DID IT.

LUCKY DIP

On Wednesday the 23^rd of September was the Mission fair. Our job was the Boys’ and Girls ‘Lucky Dip and we sold  it outside Room 3. We raised about 200 dollars on the boys and girls Lucky Dips. Our main customers were Hugo and Oscar because they brought about 14 each.

 I was surprised that all of the Boys Lucky Dip  all sold out about in 35 minutes. The girls Lucky Dip  nearly all sold out. We loved our stall because we got to just sit there and collect money and do lots of maths. The Mission Fair was amazing and very successful.

Toys and Books Stall

Before the Mission Fair started we organized our stall. Our stall had  toys and books. We worked in Room 2. First we put prices on the items. The highest price was $6 the rest of the items were $2, $1, $1.50 or 50¢. The lowest price was 20¢. When we were setting up the toys and books on the tables to be sold 3 Year 3s helped us put everything on the tables. When our stall was open Ashlyn and I got our float and started selling a lot of toys. At the end of the day we sold most of our items. I think we raised about $80 selling our things. I really enjoyed selling our stuff to raise some money for the needy.

Mystery Prizes

Salu and I sold the mystery prizes with Mrs Ackers who  said that we had to organise

all the prizes into a bag. There were 122 prizes to be sold and they were $2 each. Half way though wet to  half price. Mrs Ackers said that she had never failed to sell all of them and we didn’t have any left over .It was fun seeing the prizes as they were opened.Most people were happy accept for James who got a girly thing.

 Cake Stall

For the last few weeks we have planning for The Mission Fair. The group-Ben, WhunnDaa, Levi were in charge of the cake stall. We started off with our poster. WhunnDaa added his amazing chocolate wrappers. We had to set up the tables. 

Next we laid the paper on the tables for the cakes to go on. Then some of the Rm 6s came to buy some stuff before the  fair started.

As soon as the 12:00 bell rang for the fair to start customers were pouring into the cake stall! The first shopkeepers for the cake stall were WhunnDaa and Levi. A lot of people kept on giving us $20 notes and we just about ran out of change.

Finally we ran out of customers and so we went around selling them for HALF PRICE!!!.

My group thinks that we made the most money out of all of the stalls. We enjoyed selling cakes and it was definitely a new experience for all of us to be shopkeepers.

 SHOES AND JEWELLERY

At 12 o ‘clock all the stalls opened .We were selling the shoes and the jewellery. We waited  for the parents to buy some jewellery. Then while we were at the shoes stall people were looking at the shoes but didn’t end up buying them.

Later some ladies  started to buy some jewellery. Parishioners  brought some jewellery like necklets and bracelets.

At the jewellery stall heaps of people bought things especially the Room1 and 2 students.

As soon as we sold half of the jewellery we were relieved that some of the jewellery was gone and still made a lot of money. We gave the shoes away for free.

We really enjoyed the experience.

Working at the Arts and Crafts stall

Before the MISSION FAIR 2015 we collected arts, crafts, toys, knitted clothing and valuables. We set up between 9am and 10am. Mrs Reddy then brought some hand stitched Barbie clothes. The day and night before the Mission Fair Talia and I were busy making origami houses, cranes and dresses.

During the first 15 minutes we sold 10$ worth of clothing, art work from the students and origami. Then throughout the day we raised about ninety dollars and sold most things.

We really enjoyed our time on the stall raising for people in need. We are proud of raising and more dollars all together as a school.

Drinks and sausages

Before the Mission Fair started we all had to make a poster to attract customers to buy our product .

Brayden and Benjamin started up the grill and got the tongs while I went to get the drinks. Then when it was time the people started lining up from everywhere.

We sold a lot of sausages and drinks and thanks to Mr Wichman and Mr McInnes for helping us out.
