This year, the theme of Fairtrade Fortnight is Sit down for Breakfast and Stand up for Farmers! The theme focuses on the idea that although we rely on farmers and workers for the foods, drinks and products that we love, there are times of the year when many people who grow the food we eat for breakfast can’t feed their own families.  

 Therefore the Fairtrade committee and Primary 4B (with a little bit of help from Primary 5A) are running a pancake shop to promote some Fair trade breakfast items. Pancakes cost 50p and children have a choice of toppings including Fairtrade jam and bananas. Pupils are learning about the need for good food hygiene and applying knowledge of money to provide their customers with the correct change.  So far the pancake shop has been a great success.
