Fairtrade Thursday

We are learning all about Fairtrade with P6a.  Yesterday we walked to Morrisons to find Fairtrade products.  Then we compared them with non Fairtrade products to find the difference in price.   It was quite hard to do because there were not many Fairtrade products in Morrisons!

We found out that some Fairtrade products were more expensive than those that were not Fairtrade.  Even although they are more expensive we know they are worth buying because they give farmers a fair amount of money for their work and they stop children working on farms or plantations.

 

Zoo-ed Visit

Last Thursday we had a special visit from Fiona at Zoo-ed who came to tell us the story behind the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

2016 is the year of the Monkey but we were all born under the year of the Boar, apart from Zoha, who was born on the year of the Rat!

Fiona brought some very cute and some VERY interesting animals and reptiles along with her and of course we got to have a gentle hold too!

There was Henry and Rizzle the rats! Philip the guinea-pig and Boudicca-Rose the rabbit. Dexter the bearded dragon and Angus the corn snake.

Some of us were extremely brave!  Take a closer look – especially the pictures of Angus…eek!

She read a passage from her new book ‘Badger the Mystical Mutt and the Daydream Drivers’. We found out all about Badger the dog and learned about some of the adventures he manages to find himself in!

Badger, himself even made an appearance too!
