The Global Group has been busy meeting fortnightly, making preparations for Fairtrade Fortnight.

Some group representatives are preparing a Powerpoint reminding pupils what Fairtrade is about, and why it is important that we support farmers and make sure they get a fair price for their goods. They will show their powerpoint at assembly. The group is also planning a “Fruity Wednesday”  providing Fairtrade Fruit eat at morning break on each Wednesday of the Fair-trade Fortnight.

They are also planning a Fairtrade treasure Hunt.

Mark Beaumont’s visit

On Friday 30th of October Mark Beaumont, a famous cyclist, visited our school. He was telling us about his great adventures around the world.

Mark cycled around the world completely solo, it took 194 days. He went to some of the most dangerous, war-torn countries like Iraq, the boarders of Afghanistan, Ukraine etc… He also cycled round some of the most beautiful countries to like India, France, America, South America and more.

He also mentioned the STV Scottish appeal where they made him swim and  run through Scotland, two things he wasn’t very good at.

He also holds a Guinness World Record for going right from the top of Africa to the bottom. It took him 41 days, 10 hours and 22 minutes.

He also did  a speech which basically said, ” If you set your mind to it you can do anything” which I thought was very nice
