Pupils in Our Lady of the Missions Primary School recognise the need for farmers and workers to receive a fair price for their goods. This year, pupils will have the opportunity to reflect on where our food comes from and the connections we have with farmers in poorer countries.
As a Fairachiever School, we believe it is important to take steps that can really transform farmers’ lives and on the 26th of January our Fairtrade Committee will present Fairtrade Assemblies along with a special guest from Rainbow Turtle to help pupils understand about the Fairtrade Premium. Our school will also take part in a variety of Fairtrade competitions and lessons throughout the week.
Pupils and staff can support our Fairtrade stalls during Fairtrade Week by buying from a wide range of Fairtrade products (chocolate, jewellery, pencils, toys) and we are organising this year’s sale for Tuesday 26th January (Primary 1-3 and 5-7) and Wednesday 27th January (Primary 4). Please discuss this with your child and tell them that they can help fight poverty by buying Fairtrade products at our school stall where goods will be priced from 50p – £3.00.
