Open Evening

Leave a comment

On the 11th of March the school held an Opening Evening. Parents and other family members had the chance to look around all the classrooms with their children.  Some of theprefects helped and they were a great help. Primary 4’s organised a Fairtrade teas and coffee stall, in aid of Water Aid. Primary 4 pupils served cakes and biscuits and some staff served teas, coffees and juices. This was a great success. They also organised a raffle, and the P4’s helped write out the tickets and fold them. We raised over two hundered pounds. The choir sang some songs in the small hall as well.

Fairtrade Fortnight

Foundation logoWhat is Fairtrade? Fairtrade is to help people in different countries who don’t get paid properly. We are trying to raise awareness about Fairtrade. Fairtrade fortnight is coming up soon on the 23rd– of February 2015 to the 8th– March . There will be a terrific treasure hunt and a lovely coffee evening and a magnificent mascot competition.

When we visited the p6/7 area two pupils said “The snacks are super yummy.” The Fairtrade organise fun things for the school to take part in and have a bit of fun, especially during Fairtrade Fortnight! Every Friday the p6/7 does a fairtrade tuck shop and most items are about 50p.

Each year the school has an election to decide the Fairtrade representatives who have meetings once a term with teachers at lunch time.

Fairtrade Meeting

Leave a comment

The Fairtrade group of pupils and staff held their second meeting this term. A large group of enthusiastic Fairtrade reps and Vice reps attended to discuss how the group could promote fair-trade Fortnight which runs from 23 February – 8 March 2015. One of the ideas was a Fairtrade newsletter, which is currently being produced and will hopefully be printed and distributed next week.

The group came up with many exciting ideas, and are looking forward to introducing them to the rest of the school in February!
