IT'S 'PIG' DAY!!


Today, at last, was 'PIG' Day!

All Lent, we have been donating money to PROJECT COMPASSION, to help families in Vietnam buy pigs. So that's why we had a 'PIG' Day.

We dressed up in pink or like pigs.


Each class paraded around so we could look at everyone's costumes.

Even the teachers had costumes.

Mrs M was all in pink, with 'pig' ears, and a 'pig' nose.






She even had a 'pig' tail!





Mrs R from CARITAS gave each class a certificate to thank us for all the money we have raised.
The whole school total was $3547.75!








That means 64 pigs and 16 families like Y Re's will get 4 pigs each. Then they can fatten them up, sell them and get money to buy fruit and vegetable seeds.


Flynn won the prize for the 'BEST' pig costume in 1M. He got a 'pig' toy to hang off his school bag.
Callum and Naomi got 'pig' stickers for coming 2nd and 3rd.




Mrs M won a 'pig' mug for having the BEST 'pig' costume by a TEACHER!

We really liked Mrs M's 'pig' nose and we wouldn't let her take it off until after snack!




We think 'PIG' Day was a good idea and we liked being able to help the poor people in a FUN way.

I liked how people got dressed up for pig day. When I walked around the parade I saw children that I hadn't seen before.
