We are learning that when we choose our words carefully, we can use them to persuade others.
Last term we learned about a company called Thankyou which has recently come to NZ. Their goal is to end world poverty by 2030. They sell personal care products and give 100% of the profits to go towards reaching their goal. You can learn more about Thankyou here.
We decided to use our persuasive powers to convince the staff at our school to buy these products.
Here we are ready to deliver our letters!
Mrs Waird and Miss Baird receiving their letters
After delivering our letters we put Thankyou soap in the staff toilets for them to try.
Lots of teachers have already told us they plan to buy the product next time they are at the supermarket and we read a lovely email from Mrs Dayal who thanked Gordon and Latrell for introducing her to the Thankyou range (which was followed by high fives and a round of applause by the kids in Room 8 😊)
It is exciting and empowering to know that WE have the power to influence people and that our actions can literally help to save lives. Ka pai Thankyou for all you do and well done Room 8!
