Tomorrow there’s a fair trade coffee afternoon at holywood primary school the p.5-7 have been organizing it. The time that its on at is 2 o clock till 3. There is another one which is 5.30pm till half 6 we have been baking cakes like rice Krispy treats. Miss McIntyre has spent her Sunday afternoon baking for this fair trade afternoon.

The reason we are doing this coffee afternoon is for farmers in countries like Spain and Mexico who produce all of the cocoa beans and all of our fair trade food and because they don’t get enough money to keep a roof over there family’s head so we have raised some money to give to them.

This week we have been planning and organising our Community Fair Trade Event. Yesterday (The first of October 2018), we baked a bunch of Chocolate Rice Krispy Cakes!!!! Fair trade of course! We hope you are all coming to the Event!!!! There are two times; One of them is 2pm-3pm and one of them is 5:30pm-6:00. The Event is open to the Community around us.

Some of the adults/parents are making cakes for the Event and Miss McIntyre has made Rice Krispy Cakes, Brownies and other delicious treats!!!! Some of the Rice Krispy Treats we made have Maltesers in them, and marshmallows on top of them!!!! We will be also making Chocolate and Banana Muffins for the Event.

 

We took a School Trip to Tesco’s in Dumfries to view and learn more about some of the Fair Trade Items they sell. We  found out that there are hundreds of Fair Trade Coffee Brands and not many Fair Trade Biscuits!!!! If you don’t know what Fair Trade is, it helps Farmers get the Money they need to send their children/kids to a suitable School, Afford School Lunches, Electricity, Water Bills, Clothes, Food, Clean Water and many other needed things….

 

We hope to see you at our Fair Trade Event on Wednesday/Tomorrow/The 3rd Of October 2018!!!! X3

We have been making cakes for the fair-trade afternoon tomorrow some parents are baking cakes for tomorrow I think it will be fun. fair trade is when farmers get a premium price so that there kids can go to school and so that they can get food and water.

In maths the Galileo’s (Euan, Paul and Me) are doing Factor Bugs and Multiples.

In Forces with Miss Dale we are making Posters and taking notes about Magnetic Forces. We are doing Lots of Experiments with the Magnets like; Can a magnet move a piece of Magnetic Metal through several different types of Materials? And, how many Paperclips/Pins can a Magnet hold at the North and South Poles (That’s the scientific way of saying it, if you want to say it the normal way: How many Paperclips or Pins can a Magnet hold at the ends.??…)

Have A Great Rest Of The Week!!!!

On Friday the playground maintenance group started to dig a hole around the green house. (for gravel to go around it to help with draining so it did not make a big puddle around the green house) On Saturday Mr Phillips came and finished digging it for us. Thank you Mr Phillips.

we are learning about magnets and we found out that magnets are very useful for campus because they rub a bit of steel on a magnet and place it in the campus that’s why the arrow always points north. Magnets have a north and a south pole and the north pole is at the red side of the magnet. The south pole is at the blue side of the magnet. the north pole and the south pole are the strongest part of a magnet and the sides of the magnet are the weakest. So only use the ends of the magnets. Not the sides

This week at Holywood primary school p.5-7 have been learning all about magnets so right now we are doing posters and me and Lewis are working together. We had the choice of when you finish you can do it on the computer or do it on card so we chose red card I don’t think anyone has chose card yet but there will be maybe this after noon we are going to go back on to the posters to try and finish them of we have finished of the force project we were working on for 2 weeks.

We only started them yesterday after noon we done so of the poster this morning in stead of doing the three way writing so me and Lewis finished our poster this morning.
