Trade-a-thing Day

On Thursday 21st of August Kowhai Syndicate held a "Trade-a-thing Day" in the hall to celebrate the learning we have been doing in our Inquiry topic of Trading - looking at imports and exports. We each brought 2-3 things we no longer wanted anymore to trade/swap with other children in our syndicate.

Here are what some of Room 9 thought of Trade-a-thing Day:

I thought Kowhai's trade-a-thing was great. I got a book, a rabbit and a toy Jasmin. Before that I had an Aladdin book, a bag with a pencil sharpener and a ball and a bag with some other stuff in it. I traded with Logan, Ella and a girl in Renwick 2.

I thought trade-a-thing day was great! I liked it because there were lots of cool toys and you could trade. There were lots of other children to trade with. I traded a fire engine for a spider (with Toby) and a puzzle for an aeroplane (with Oscar).

I thought trade-a-thing day was fun. I traded with Quanah, Grace and Holly. I treaded with Grace for her pony and she got my giraffe puzzle. I traded with Quanah my cheetah puzzle for her violet doll. I traded with Holly my elephant puzzle for her doll's mirror.

I thought Trade-a-thing day was excellent, fantastic and fun. Before I had a note book, a teenage mutant ninja turtles car and a spider. After I had a fire engine, pen and the teenage mutant ninja turtles car. It was on Thursday. I liked trade-a-thing day because I like trading things.
By Toby

I thought trade-a-thing day was fascinating. I traded with Tyler. I traded my bouncy ball for a bionicle. I did not trade my car. I wanted to trade my car but everyone else only had little stuff to trade.
