Novelty Day

Hi we recently organised Novelty Day for our school. The stalls were books, toys, food, hair-braiding, face-painting, guess how many sweets in the jar, the raffle, magic-tricks, haunted house, drinks and fortune-telling. We raised €1,621.28.we donated €700 each to Down syndrome and The National Council for the Blind. We also gave €221.28 to Cancer Research. I was on the food stall and we received loads of cakes that parents and children had kindly baked for us to sell. I did face-paints and it was great. Loads of people came. We would like to thank everyone for helping to make the day as successful as it was.

The Toy Stall

Toys

We got a lot of toys and games for theToy stall. Some were old and some were new.We made over 100 euro in the first hour. It was quite a busy job because everybody comes to it. It was all going to Down syndrome and National council for the Blind. We made 1,621.28 in the whole of novelty day.

Our Raffle Stall

The Raffle

This year’s novelty day raffle was a great success. We made loads of money on the stall and loads of brilliant prizes won. The raffle was on Friday and the winners were announced over the intercom. There were so many people who wanted to buy tickets that we had to start selling them the day before novelty day and finish the day after. There was a great deal of money made on this stall for Down syndrome Ireland and the National Council for the Blind. Altogether on the day we made €1,621.28.

More activity from the Toy Stall

This years novelty day was on 5th December, the 6th class put novelty day together. Novelty day raised up to 1,641.28 euro. This money went to three charities. These charities were: the national council for the blind, Down syndrome Ireland and cancer research. We had a great time and so did every one else that participated. There were a lot of stalls some of these were: drink stall, toy stall, sweet stall, hairbraiding and many, many more!

The Book Stall

On novelty I was working on fuse ball we made a lot of money and had fun. Altogether the two classes raised €1,628.21 in aid of Down syndrome Ireland and National Council For The Blind. At novelty day there was a toy stall, drinks stall, food stall, penalty shoot out, pillow fights and playstation one + playstation two. The most popular stalls were either the playstation or the toy stall. I didn’t win in the raffle because I only bought three raffle tickets. A few people won the raffle out of our class.

Hair Braiding

Every year, Scoil san Treasa has Novelty day. Every year, 6th class organise and run it. This year we did it. The school always gives the money raised to a Charity. This year we couldn’t choose one charity, so we picked three, Cancer Research, National Council For The Blind and Down syndrome. We rose over 1, 600 euro! I was on the penalty shoot out and the drink stall. There was also a raffle, toys and bookstall, the sweets and popcorn stall, haunted house, pillow fights, fortune telling and a lot, lot more I had lot of fun. The whole day was Fun. I wish we could do it again.

The Goodies Stall!

There is a lot of preparation that had to be put in to novelty day this year. We had lots of different types of stalls such as the hair braiding, face painting, toys, haunted house, pillow fights, sweets, cakes and books.

Every stall did quite well especially the toys, cakes and sweets. A lot of people went to them. It looked like every one was having a great time even the stall keepers. The raffle was great we made loads of money from that.

Novelty Day turned out such good fun this year. We raised €1,621.28.We are giving are money to Down Syndrome, Cancer & National Council for the Blind. We are really pleased.
