An idea

The Giraffes were reading a story about a family who went to a few garage sales and bought some useful things. Liam overhead the story and became very excited. He shared with the class his idea that it would be great if each person in the class could bring an old toy or book to school that we don't use anymore. He said that either we sell the toys and books and use the money to help someone, or post all the toys and books to poor children overseas. 

This idea got us all thinking!  We agreed that we all had things at home that we could do without, but we found it hard to decide if we should sell the goods, or post them. To help us decide we took a vote. 

The question...

The choices...

Or

Here is Liam telling the class the results of our vote. 

The outcome of our vote is...

21 in favour of selling the goods

7 in favour of sending the goods overseas.

We will now begin work on the next step of our project.
