For Fairtrade Fortnight the children in P5\/6\/7 learnt about the different Fairtrade items that are for sale in our local shops.<\/p>\n

First, the children identified the various countries these items came from and then located these countries on a world map.\u00a0 They then worked in pairs to calculate the food miles that each item had travelled to get to Islay as well as the difference in cost from other well known brands.<\/p>\n

The children used some Fairtrade items to create pieces of art.\u00a0 They also wrote out Fairtrade recipes and made some delicious chocolate truffles.<\/p>\n
