Summerfest 2006

The annual BBS School Fete. A lot of work in preparation, and the day was a great success.

As you arrive, you bought tickets to use on the stalls. The only time we saw the kids was when they had run out of tickets and wanted more! There were lots of games for the kids to play, pony rides, mini golf, bouncy castle etc. 

The English Book stall was there, ans we spent a small fortune on books. We had a lot of raffle prizes. Separately we had themed baskets donated by each year level. (Cameron's basket was Gardening, Alexander's was Stationery). You buy your tickets for the Summer baskets, and put your tickets into the boxes in front of the basket that you want to win. A much better idea than a general raffle, where you end up with a prize you 'really want.

The Malaysian Embassy donated a basket of goodies, and in it was a large packet of MILO! Our supply of Milo had run out a few weeks ago. I wanted that Milo so badly. So I bought some tickets, and all my tickets went into the Malaysian Embassy basket. 

 Each different class/ club had a chance to be on stage and perform. Alexander and Cameron were on stage to sing "The Homework Song". 

We also had a Japanese Soccer Entertainment group come as well. They are in Berlin touring, had a free day, and someone at the school asked if they would like to come. After they did their show (think of the Soccer version of the basketball Harlem Globetrotters), they spent the entire afternoon playing soccer with the kids. They were really great!

The quilt I donated as a raffle prize was won by a German friend and her English husband.  They were thrilled! 

Then I WON THE MALAYSIAN BASKET!!!! I was thrilled. Jocelyn,my New Zealand friend was very envious.  I will make her a Milo when she comes over next! The basket had lots of noodles, soy sauce, chili sauce, and a gorgeous piece of fabric, that I will be able to cut up and make something with, as well as the 2 hats Meghan and Cameron are wearing in this picture, with Bradley, Alexander and Hylamway.
