Fairtrade Fortnight

Gordon Primary  joined in enthusiastically with Fairtrade Fortnight. All classes in the school made posters promoting this years’ Fairtrade campaign to make bananas fair “Stick with Foncho”

All posters included the Fairtrade logo, the website address (www.stickwithfoncho.org.uk) and some bananas. Posters were displayed around our school and the Secondary school.

The Fairtrade group also sold Fairtrade bananas at morning break in the glass corridor. These proved very popular and provided a healthy snack for pupils and staff. Pupils and staff were also invited to draw their own cartoon banana on a poster of a giant banana.

Parents, pupils and staff also sent in banana recipes which will be made into a leaflet which will be given out to all families.

The Nursery

The nursery went to local shops to find Fairtrade products.They enjoyed looking for food with the fairtrade logo.When they went to the local shops they bought some biscuits for them to eat. They also got some bananas to eat as well. They saw the sign in the window of the Stewarts hall telling us that Huntly is a Fairtrade town. They sat down and talked about fairtrade and fairtrade products .

Back in the nursery they made snack using the fairtrade products that they bought,  including some yummy fruit kebabs!

Some of the P6 fairtrade representatives went to the nursery to tell the children about the work of the school fairtrade group and about fairtrade fortnight. The nursery children also  bought bananas from the fairtrade banana tuckshop in the school.

Fairtrade Fortnight

Fairtrade fortnight is here! At Gordon Primary classes have been asked to make posters promoting this years campaign “Making Bananas Fair.”

These posters will be displayed around the school and the community (Swimming pool, Linden Centre, the Gordon Schools etc).

The Fairtrade group will be selling Fairtrade bananas in the glass corridor, for 20p each.

We are also collecting banana recipes, which we will use to produce a leaflet of yummy things you can make with your bananas.
