Homework 23/3

FUNDRAISING IDEAS

Come up with 2-3 fundraising ideas that our class could do to raise money for Japan. Talk them over with family and friends - which ideas do they like and why?

If we were to do a 'wheels day' at school - what things would we need to organise? How could we run it as a fundraiser?

You can post your ideas as a comment on this blog so we can all think/discuss them before next week.
