WE DID IT!
Thanks to lovely family and friends, the amazing netballers and my fantastic class, we have managed to raise over £1,500!
First the netball team did a marathon netball match, which killed off any enthusiasm for netball I think...BUT they persevered and they did it! Then we performed Macbeth the Musical and received a load of very kind donations. We are still doing Africa Fun Fun! Week, and we have gone over the total. The cakes for this are making just as much as the entrance fee, so a massive thank you to all the people who made delicious things.
We are going to work out what the excess is, and try to buy some lightweight equipment for the African school, such as pencil sharpeners (which are apparently like hen's teeth) and pencils, if that is alright with everyone. Any ideas for light things I can carry on the plane with me are most welcome.
Thank you again. I really can't thank you all enough.

Making up our 'Confidence' dance was a lot of fun. We hope to show you on the Open Day....if we feel confident enough!
If a chessboard were to have a grain of rice placed upon each square such that one grain were placed on the first square, two on the second, four on the third, and so on (doubling the number of grains on each subsequent square), how many grains of wheat would be on the chessboard at the finish?
