Dear Parent/Carer,

Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.

As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).

We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.

• Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
• Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
• Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
• Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
• Friday 6th March – Primary 7

Fair Trade Tuck Shop

Yours sincerely,

Fairtrade Pupil Group

This week we have been exploring ‘what makes things move?’

We have been investigating the forces ‘push’ and ‘pull’.

We have been making car ramps and measuring how far the car travel using cubes. The higher the ramp the further the car travelled.

We have been using magnetic force to move objects.

 

We created a Venn diagram to help us sort objects into ‘push’ and ‘pull’ groups. We decided that some objects are ‘both’, like our interlocking cubes, sticky tape and whiteboard eraser!

 

We were able to change the shape of our modelling clay, depending on the force we used.

We were even challenged to move a ping pong ball without touching it. We worked out that blowing was a ‘push’ force.

Bonjour!

Sandy and Chocolate sent us a postcard from Paris!

It sounds like they have been having a lovely time sight seeing and exploring French cuisine.

We decided to use our construction to build some famous landmarks.

We also made some French flags!

We are super excited for our French breakfast after the long weekend.

A bientot!
