Super Soaker

At Ashfield Juniors’ Summer Fair we – Autumn, Carina and Yasmin – were in charge of the Super Soaker stall. The purpose of the stall was to raise money in a fun and crazy sort of way. After paying 50p (for 3 goes) or £1 (for 7 goes) you got to throw a drenched sponge at one of the following people:

• Autumn
• Carina
• Yasmin
• Miss Bryant
• Mr Ditchburn
• Mrs Tooley
• Miss Gardt (our special guest)

We organized all the teachers above to visit our stall for 15 minutes and get soaked.

We think our biggest money making visitor was Mr Ditchburn, some people were even waiting before he’d even got to us! Also, by the look on the teachers’ faces, and ours when we looked back at the pictures, everyone had a lot of fun.

Everyone who had a go at throwing a sponge had a great laugh too, sometimes even hitting them right in the face!

At first, we believed that we wouldn’t get as many customers as other stalls, considering we were in the mall, and no one could walk around the outside of the school – because it was raining(!) – and they had to walk through a class room, and the hall! We were disappointed at this point. But after walking around the school and telling people to visit our stall, we had at least one customer every minute. Wahoo! 

We’d like to thank everyone who helped out, including the teachers, Yasmin, and even each other. As well, we’d like to thank everyone who visited our stall and helping us raise an amount of money we are proud of. J

(Since writing this article the girls have learnt that their stall raised the most money.  Well done, girls.)
