Room 6 are being Super Heroes by helping people with cancer. We have a poster of Petra in our classroom and she has 376 beads around her neck, they represent all of the treatment she has had.
We decided to be heroes by raising money for the child cancer foundation. Hannah's Mum works for the child cancer foundation bought along a poster, and bead bracelets to sell. Hannah is in charge of collecting the money along with the rest of Room 6. We are going to try and sell as many as we can!!
Hannah has written out some information for us, here it is below.
When a child with cancer goes through a treatment or procedure they receive one special bead. Petra has 376.
Their hair often falls out from the treatment. Petra is a happy five year old girl with a twin sister Libby, two brothers Rory, Ned and Step brother Joshua, and loving parents Toni and Chris.
In March 2007 Petra was diagnosed with cancer.

Hi Hannah & Mrs C-B, What a fantastic idea this is, we recently lost a family member to cancer so we are 100% behind you and raising funds to help find a cure and help those that need it the most. Hannah, to me a superhero is someone who is kind, caring, thoughful, someone who is willing to help others, I think you are a superhero-girl !!! I bet Petra and other Children like Petra will think so too. Thank you so much for letting Angus, Liam and I help you raise funds for Child Cancer.
