Our Valentine’s Day activity paid off so well that I could not stop thinking about it. It all started on October when we started to collect money which we gave to our class treasurer, William.
At the end of January, we started making love cards by cutting heart-shaped papers and writing “Happy Valentine’s Day 2011, Love P4M” on them. We also decorated them with markers and colour pencils.
In the beginning of February, we bought Beng-Beng chocolate bars and we made ribbons on the card and stapled both of them onto the Beng-Beng bars. We actually made too many cards so we used the extra cards as decorations along with the Valentine letters we made. We placed these on the wall outside our classroom.
Finally, it was Valentine’s Day! My friends brought the baskets to put the Beng-Beng bars in and decorated it with lovely ribbons. We split up into groups and gave the Beng-Beng bars to all the teachers, security personnel, cleaners, administrative staff members, the canteen people, the school nurse and everyone else who worked in school.
To celebrate our success, we had a Valentine class party which we celebrated with cookies, muffins, cupcakes, candies and chocolates.
The Valentine’s Day activity really paid off because we learned that if we work as a team, everything will be done a lot easier. I wish we could do this again as a class. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
