Last Saturday Arrowtown School had its 150th anniversary, we celebrated it by having a Gala day.
There were all sorts of stalls. Room 11, our class, had a stall that we shared with the rest of the syndicate. It was so great that it sold out in the first hour of the gala day so only the year 6 students got to have a go at running the stall.
Our stall was called Pick a Pencil there was one huge plastic box of saw dust . There were 84 pencils all standing up, each pencil had a different coloured sticker it and each sticker stood for a prize. For example if you got a red you would get a good prize if you got a yellow it wasn't such a good prize.There were also pencils without stickers and if you got one without a sticker you didn't get a prize just the pencil.
There were other stalls to like pony rides, Mini jeeps and there was Mr Potts with his funky bikes. Lastly there were the restaurant food stalls from Arrowtown who came and set up a tent each! There was a tent for adults only no kids. The only bad thing about the day was that it was a raining.
Other than that it was great, and we all had a lot of fun!
