Reading A1+ Raising Money

The world is a strange place, and it isn't always a fair place - some people are rich and some people are poor. In some parts of the world, children don't have enough food to eat or enough money to buy clothes or shoes. Every year at Greenfields Primary School, we do something to raise money for these children. This year we've decided to have a Market Day.

On Market Day, on Saturday 4th December, we are going to make our school look just like a big shopping centre. People can come any time from 9am to 5pm and buy everything from clothes to CDs, cakes and flowers! My team and I have been very busy. There has been a lot to do to prepare for this big charity event, but there is more to do, and we need your help.

Bill Thomas has visited local shops and asked them to give us things that we can sell at the event.

Bookworm Bookshop has sent us twenty new books and Mel's Music Shop has offered to give us thirty new CDs. We haven't gone to get those, so we need someone to do that.

Philip Polanski and Khan Duong have emailed all the teachers and asked them to come to our event, and Ned Campbell has put a message on the school website saying the event is open to the public.

Last year, Ms Grant and Ms Ali made some wonderful cakes for our charity event. Luckily for us, they have said they will do it again this year. They have bought the flour and all the other ingredients and they are going to make the cakes, over fifty, on the Friday before Market Day. We want students to give us things that we can sell - old toys, games, clothes, anything® that we can sell to make money for poor children.

Please do your bit for charity on Market Day!
