The idea of community day has been around for ages. In 3rd term year six learnt about government and year five voted for the community day government. In this year’s case it was Tom Homan, Angel Cheung, Peta Bilton and Kingsley Poon (who was Prime Minister). Then in 4th term year 6 learnt about global communities, and so then made stalls as a kind of community, with different roles for some people, such as police officer or garbage collector. They then spent weeks in preparation for the big day.
On the day, year five, parents and teachers roamed around buying things as year six students frantically worked to keep up with them. In the end the store with the most money was Lucky Ducky but they were found to be selling unpermitted goods.
My (John) store was Candy Mountain, who obviously sold candy, lollies and other fine sweets. We earned $158, but one of our employees spent $2 of that money for a milkshake, leaving us with (if you did your maths) $156. Our store was very busy and we had to raise prices in order to not sell out. We also got fined $10 for spelling lollies wrong on a slideshow we had.
My (Alex) store was called Milkshake Madness. As you can guess we sold milkshakes and darn good ones too. They came in flavours like Banana (mmm), strawberry (MMM), chocolate (MMMMMMM), custom (YUM) and Tough as nails (built specially for the Iron Man challenge). Our shop was frantic and we nearly incurred a fine for spills in the workstation because we worked so hard. When I look back, though I loved the experience.
All in all the day was great. Money was made, bellies were full and people were scared out of their pants, but one thing stood out amongst the rest, we had fun working as a community.
