Guess how much we made from our F1 Racing Game Stall?

Do you remember the target amount that we decided together as a class to raise for our school? I said that if each of us gets at least two customers each to play at our game stall, we will be able to raise at least $124. (It is because there are thirty-one of us, and each customer pays $2.00 for two tries.) Kampton helped me to count the number of coupons collected at the end of the carnival and I am proud to announce that we managed to raise $213 ! WOW! That is almost twice the amount that we aimed for! Well done boys!

Although I did not have time to let all of you distribute pamphlets to attract more customers to our stall, we still did extremely well! Give yourself a pat on your back! All of you had a part to play in our stall's success - from the enthusiastic brainstorming of game stall ideas (special mention to Dylan who came up with the winning idea) to the boys who selflessly volunteered their remote control cars. I am sure many of you went around getting people to come to our game stall too, and I was so proud to see you boys helping me man the stall. I must say that some of my proudest moments were when I saw you cheering your customers on when their remote control cars got stuck, and helping me dilligently to collect coupons for payment and handing out cookies happily to the winners. =)

Special thanks to all parents who turned up to support our school event/class game stall too, especially to Colwyn's daddy and mummy, Wayne's mummy, and Kampton's daddy and mummy for helping me man the stall! Thanks to Dillon, Ollie, Dylan and Kamptons' mummies for buying me food and drinks while I was busy too! Last but not least, how can we forget to thank Raphael's mummy for baking the delicious cookies that we gave out as prizes as well? This enjoyable event was truly a class effort, including all your mummies and daddies! Aren't you all proud of yourselves? =)

Although our two remote control cars' batteries went flat halfway in the midst of all our fun, we managed to tweak our game rules so that our customers could continue playing: Instead of two people competing, one person would navigate one remote control car (while we charge the other remote control car). As long as he or she could navigate the car until the end of the track without hitting any cones, he/she would win a bag of cookies. Here are some pictures taken at our game stall, so enjoy them and try to spot yourself and even your mummy or daddy! =)

Happy March holidays, boys! Please do not forget your holiday homework as well!

Wait a minute, are those groans I just heard? Here is a famous quote for you to think about:

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,
All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.

Agree? Let me know on the first day of Term 2! =)
