As part of our Fairtrade topic, last week we visited our local Morrisons to compare fairtrade and non-fairtrade products. Although we predicted the fairtrade products to be more expensive, this wasn’t always the case. Even in instances where Fairtrade was more expensive, this was often only by a few pence.
Back in class, we’ve spent time learning about Fairtrade products and the journeys they take to make it to Britain. We also took part in a blind chocolate tasting to see if there is a difference in flavour between Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade products.
In terms of our favourite flavour, it was a die between Fairtrade milk chocolate and non-Fairtrade milk chocolate. We displayed these results in a bar graph which is now up on our Fairtrade wall.
