Dear Mr G,

I'm writing to let you know that Market day was a huge success. I had a great time selling our product which was the frutti tutti dolphins made by our class, room 6 and our buddy class room 3.

It was great to see the big kids working well together with the little kids. The little kids were included in everything by making the product and then selling the product with the big kids.  Big kids were often buddied up with a younger child to help then and support them with choosing what to buy on the day.

It was great for the whole school to do something together with everyone playing a part in making a healthy food snack.  The school has been buzzing with advertising and the excitement of classes making their healthy snack.  The market day was exciting for everyone and a great day with celebrating together.

It was a good idea to have classes market and sell a healthy snack because now they will be more aware of how healthy snacks can be fun and delicious. There were lots of good ideas for healthy snacks and people might start making them at home too.

I think a market day each year is a fantastic idea to bring the school together.

Yours Sincerely
