The HIGHLY COMMENDED Letterboxes

On Friday evening last week, there was a post box competition. Many schools were competing and getting prizes for all their hard work that they had done. Jay Yu and Dain got 'Highly Commended' certificates. All the certificates that were given out to everyone that won a prize each. When we went up, we got given two black bags with goodies in them. In the bags we got some roses and the certificate. We are quite proud of our class and all the people that made a letterbox. We were so happy when we went up stage. Dain couldn't take the smile off her face! It looked like it was going to be on her face forever and ever!!! When we went off the stage we gave our bags to Miss Cheeseman so she can look after them. On Monday morning, we found out what was inside the bag. There were gift cards for the class and the 'Roses' chocolates enough to hand out to the whole class! YUM!!! Everyone had so much fun making the letterboxes! Well done to Tenera, Tori-Grace, Alex, Farah, Isabella, Sahville and Dain and thanks for coming!!!

This is how the mailboxes are made, Tenera's mailbox is made out of a paint container and cardboard. Farah's mailbox is made out of cardboard. Jae Yu's mailbox is made out cardboard, popsicle sticks and foam letters. Isabella's mailbox is made out of cardboard, pink cellophane and plastic plates.
